You know all the babble-tronning about that Maccentral.com quote? Yeah, the one about how no new processors will be arriving for a while? Well, I just want to take this chance to say I don't buy it. Why would Apple suddenly violate their policy of "not commenting on future hardware?" There has been hype in the past, and Apple has done nothing to dismiss it. Screw that Maccentral site... awesome new stuff is coming.

    People usually create Current Hardware threads in the more popular Future Hardware forum, not the other way around.



    Not that I care, I just thought it was funny...

    They did it last year before I think the Paris expo (which ended up being canceled).

    That's why I'm a miracle of modern science.



    And as for you EmAn, yeah, Paris got cancelled. That's kinda the point.

    the reason they said so is because all the people who keep on saying G5 and powerbook updates and powermac updates and all that shit! all of it is pure SPECULATION and after EVERY show or update, people bitch and moan how apple didn't pull off the impossible by releasing a G5 or something else!



    apple is trying to lower our hopes for a G5 cause IT DOESN'T EXIST! they're trying to bring our expectations down from the stratusphere (?) and back to earth where they should be. don't expect the impossible. we can say what apple SHOULD release, but none of those predictions are realilistic. you can't expect apple to produce something if it doesn't exist.



    (btw, i would be perfectly happy if apple was lying, but i don't see it happening.)



    everyone relax, take it easy, don't expect the impossible, keep you predictions closer to reality. CHILL <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    I second that! They don't want a repeat of MWNY 2001, which was disasturous because of rampant speculation for a FP iMac. Now we have one, and speculating about the G5. Apple doesn't like rampant speculation, so they try to rule out the possiblity to prevent it.



    CHILL! It's not gonna happen <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />

    Really, all they said was that there are no new processors coming in the next few months. This in reality means that there will be no G5 at MWTokyo.



    July's Macworld is more than a few months, so they havn't ruled out G5 there yet (Although I don't expect it to show). They havn't even ruled out speed bumps of the G4. Whattayall winging about?

    uggg,,,, some people just don't get it.



    they did not mean processors. they meant products. NO NEW HARDWARE. Comprehendo? What the hell does Apple have to do to end this baseless speculation. they are trying and people just take what they say and interpret into what THEY want to believe.

    The reason Apple has decided to announce that there'll be no new stuff is because the (clearly highly inaccurate) rumors about an impending release for the G5 also seeped onto the pages of more mainstream publications, and it is making it clear to customers that there's no point in holding purchases for a few weeks in the hope of a non-existent computer.

    The only baseless speculation I see @ this moment is you trying to make "CPU" == "HARDWARE".



    For the record, I think we WILL NOT see speed bumps between now & MWNY on any (Apple) machine (even tho bumps would not technically mean "new" CPUS).

    Actually, despite his being a jackass about it, applenut is write. Greg Joswiak (the guy quoted by MacCentral) says explicitly the Apple is content with the 4 product matrix for now and doesn't plan to change any of the 4 quadrants for the coming months (ie, until after MW Tokyo)
