I -always- discount this stuff then it always comes true. At least I can go to sleep now full in the knowledge that Apple's coming out with a tricorder.
the problem applenut is that the images arent listed by a number according to how many days left, but rather they are named by their slogan. So unless you know the slogun it would be pretty hard to figure out the next slogan.
<strong>Does this mean spymac's specs are creditable now?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Spymac's specs on the other hand are a whole different thing. The color ibooks were posted on rumor sites earlier before they did, the specs on the imacs and part numbers were posted onto AI days before they did. OS X.2 is not shipping till March, Shiller already told the WSJ that. The top of the line iMac's product number is the exact same one as OS X.

did not realize that. thank you. so it was definitely someone on the inside.
It is obvious that they were simply TOLD the slogan, and made the image in photoshop.. The one from Apple is of course a different size, but is also wider, etc. If you look at the info, you will find that the one from spymac was created at 1:12AM on the 5th.. But Apple.com's image was made on Friday (the fourth) at 4:40PM... This would suggest that they definately did not hack apple.com, rather the may have gotten the information from their source last minute.... Either way, this will help Spymac's repoir...
[quote]However, don't give SpyMac too much credibility!! The image next numerically always gives Apple's 404 page. They probably just put the image in the right location a little early before updating the actualy html. SpyMac may have just checked it at the right time and gotten lucky.<hr></blockquote>
But the URL to the phrase is <a href="http://a772.g.akamai.net/.../mwsf02_fullspeedahead.gif" target="_blank">http://a772.g.akamai.net/.../mwsf02_fullspeedahead.gif</a> so it'd have to be a damn good guess to predict it ahead of time.

example: replace yesterday's number with today's and see if it came up?
2.) if this did leak I'm sure the person who leaked it will be fired or at least caught. I mean how many people could have access to this.

<strong>1.) did anyone check Apple's server for the next day

I tried something like that yesterday, but they don't seem to be numbered in sequence:

Apple
If it means anything, it looks like spymac got the text, not the image, and made a mock-up because those don't look anything alike.

Maybe it should be "Lust Factor X", no?
I think Apple means that OS X will now go where it has never gone: portable.

"It's going to be fast, and you WILL want one."
i don't know... there seems to be a preoccupation with speed in these messages.

If it WAS the broadband, tommorow's slogan should be "It will NEVER be 56 days to macworld again."
