Normally you hear some codenames for upcomg products being tossed around. whether right or wrong you always here them and more often then not they are usually right or close to be right. for MWSF we have heard none.

think that is good or bad?

Damn, applenut, I thought briefly about that, but it never really made it into consciousness........I don't know. I have heard the Revolution thing and GoldFish as well.....

Your right though, take Pismo. It was all over the place months before release.
To save time, assume I know everything.

Or we hear the codenames after the product is released. Like Quicksilver.

Apple is very tightlipped about their secret new projects. Normally, you shouldn/t hear about the new product until Apple officially announces it.

yeah.. apple isn't going to say, "Hey guys, we have a new iMac coming out and it's codenamed Revolution 2. Its not that big a deal, though, so just buy lots of iMacs now."

Goldfish is the only codename I have heard, and that codename has been around for a while.

I'm not saying they would but traditional codenames have been pretty easy to discover. ie: mercury, midway, sawtooth, yikes, gossamer, pismo, el captain, kihei, lifesavers, mystic, etc.

Few of those products had the secrecy of what's going on now. Take the TiBook. We knew its code name. AI got its internals correct. There were also reports of the widescreen, but AI didn't believe 'em.

well, that's what I'm saying. I think this is a good thing. because current rumors are saying 15 inch LCD iMac with g3 and a powerMac g4 7460. basic stuff. but no codenames are said. if this were close to reliable a codename would be known. obviously the real info is still secret.

I definately agree with discstickers. Or with applenut which discstickers is questioning and I did not mention before, but that's fine.

Last time I heard (and this was before the old AI boards went into retirement) the code name for the next generation iMacs is KIVA. Not sure if it's still going under the same code name since it's been so long coming...

And everybody knows what makes Goldfish special. They grow to fill whatever size tank they're placed into. Could this be a scalability reference?

This is not specific of goldfish, every big race of fish need a big tank in order to develop his maximum size, it's in relation with the wawe reflexion on the wall of the tank wich allow or not the fish to growth.

Yes, we haven't heard about a codename for Apple's new PM G6! So obviously Apple skipped the whole G5 thing an we will see the new G6 machines in january!

You don't believe this? It's as reliable as everything else what I've read so far

PS: My favorite codename of all time was Escher for the PowerBook Duo 270c, as seen in <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/escher/PhotoAlbum5.html" target="_blank">this picture</a>.
