Time in trouble? Not likely.
Was the posting of the iMac2 article an error? Not likely. It was probably even suggested/required by Apple. i mean just who is going to be in the know on this one? My mom, dad, the local gas staion attendant, The big city car dealer, the sales clerk at best buy, the real estate woman with the great big picure hovering over the highway awash in... at any rate, only us Mac loons would see this article before it was "supposed" to appear. So stop with the "steve's gonna eat Time for lunch and chop off heads" nonsense. the article appearing "prematurely" was a gift. To whom? Us. A thank you for our patience, a taste of the glory yet to unfold. A reward for waiting patiently in time zones inumerable for 12 AM Pacific time for the past week. It is a peak through that loose secton of Christmas wrapping paper that tells us what we are getting, but keeps us from fully enjoying it just yet. Apple is beginning, ever so slowly, to accept its fanatical fan base as one that should be rewarded for said fanaticism. is it a free Mac? No, but it is the warm feeling of utter exclusivity and belonging that we all so long for. The VIP lounge. The box seats. Ringside.
Tomorrow will come and go. Opinion will, as usual, be polarized; but for once, we have an Apple product that has included all of the goodies we had hoped for.
Apple is finally beginning to recognize the need to meet expectations at the least; and perhaps tomorrow, even overwhelm.
After all, this was one more sleepless night with a better reward than a cryptic banner.

Anyway, there's still a lot to know about even this iMac, nobody is really even sure on specifics right now. And heck, I doubt Time even had the whole story from Apple--they aren't that stupid--so we're still in for a relatively big surprise tomorrow.
Perhaps Steve could 'convince' AOL to actually make a decent version of their software for the Mac for a change?

I can't comment on the AOL browser/whatever software, as I haven't used it (I only know it works.. and that anyone who dislikes it doesn't belong in the idiothole AOL anyway), but I know that AIM for OS X isn't half bad. Other than its lack of file sending and direct connections, it's pretty much where the PC version is (save the stupid "Today" piece of crap). I don't even like it anyway, though, I hate ads and I've found <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=12052&db=mac" target="_blank">Adium</a> to be 200% better in the interface dept. Plus it has a few neat features, and (rejoice!) the dock icon doesn't BOUNCE!
It all makes sense now. Coordinate with media release of new iMac.
Hehe... nice going. But too bad they published it too early on the website.
Ooops

You're right, AIM isn't that bad but AOL is. We're stuck on 5.0 with a lot of features missing that Windows users have. The only reason why I have AOL is because my dad uses it.
Didn't even make the cover of European version of Time, though.
