This thread is getting so engrossing, that I won't close the window until after the keynote - I can't resist the insane sense of geeky humor that oozes out of the erm, hyperlinks. Anyhow, thats that for my medical school exam on Wednesday - I never wanted to be a Doctor anyway <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

Dave


P.S. Don't worry about me (as if you would!) - It's only a mock, and I'll probably do better than many, though that really isn't saying that much....

Hay - New Page - Yippee!

Well, at first I thought that they just copied the rumors from Spymac, but the prices are included with the specifications....In legal term it means that they are now obliged to provide those products to whoever wants to buy them.
Under the French laws those guys are in serious trouble if it is just a rumor....
Anyway we'll see....

We just read the statement from Apple Norway. Apple Denmark has invited the general public to see the keynote at two locations (for the first time ever? Heklp me here JLL). Normally its only press, resellers aso.

AFAIK, nothing from Apple Belgium - yet. But then, I never even knew Apple had any real people here in Belgium anyway. The support isn't even awful, it simply doesn't exist.

My local Mac dealer is showing the keynote in their shop in Antwerp, however. It could even be with the help of Apple belgium. Again, AFAIk, that's a first. See

I have read that they have changed the V.E on the G5 and no longer push it. (Like MMX...)Rather the 64 bit stuff


ie this is fake!

I expect we'll see more than on on Monday.

Well... of course, but I mean more than one before the Stevenote.

I imagine they'll count the hours down and have some witty saying for each one until the homepage finally just links to the QT stream.

Also, the number on the "G5" chip is the same number that is on the G4 chip on Apple's web site. I don't know what this number is I just know they are the same on the two images!

Of course the image is fake - I thought that it was obvious that the image was taken from apple.com:

The picture on apple.com is also a Photoshop job - the G4 doesn't have a big G4 all over it and certainly not Velocity Engine.

Just so you know, I became so addicted to this forum last night that I couldn't sleep and I kept waking up every half an hour to check the forums scared that I'd missed some new revelation. I spooled a long ethernet cable into the bedroom so I could have my ibook on all night by the bed!! How about *that* for sad??

Anyway, when is the keynote in GMT? 8 hours + PST?

[and, is it just me or do you feel the walls starting to shake a little on the old UBB? Maybe she canna take no more cap'n?]

Well since it is Motorola that makes the chips it would say AltiVec (and PowerPC 74xx).

These specs do seem to be the consensus from the grapevine. But something is weird about that page. That whole website looks pretty amateur, but it's the specs like the lack of a SuperDrive that has me scratching my head. But since there are no product numbers or links, it just smells fishy. We shall see. I've been wrong before. In any case, do some of those markings I can't read mean more dual processor configurations or something?

correction: they do have product numbers. This site also has the LCD iMac specs, but all of this stuff is apparently copied from the well-known suckfuldotcom source through Go2Mac and SpyMac (this French site shows the iWalk too). As has already been shown, the first LCD imac model has the same product number as OS X at the Apple Store. Bogus. I guess these guys will be hearing from French authorities.

I finally made it to the end of this thread. It took me a couple of hours to catch up on where I left off very late last night...

3 times in a row, I got finished reading the second to last page, clicked to the last page, and found ANOTHER new page had begun in the meantime.

Great times to be an AI addict!!

Yes, the words Velocity Engine is not on the chip itself - it's just Apple's marketing name for AltiVec.
