    Well, look at this this way. A straight forward report on what Apple is doing will get a cease & desist if they get wind of it. A rambling, amusing little story is just that-- a nice little story. Wanna hear about me and the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders? Fact or fiction? The wife can't say a thing.

    This is what I think how the new cinema display will look like.



    Sorry for the childlish mockup....I only spent 5 minutes on this.

    OOOOooo... link the swiveling "sliver" base on several of these and you'd have an awesome Mobile.

    Jonathan Ivey meets Alexander Calder.



    got to be able to hang in "upside down" from the base on wall hooks.



    if they swivel through 360 degrees, the temptation to play pinball spinner might be tough



    it's late. brain slowing. now my dreams are going to be expensive.

    Yeah, except that a fast car helps one get fast women, whereas a fast computer actually is known to interfere with one's ability to get fast women...



    Heh, heh.



    Filemaker back to the fold? Heh. Safari kicked 'Explorer's' butt...now Filemaker, Keynote and 'Document' (with bundled iConferncing app'?) Now that's what I call an iOffice for the 21st Century.



    Safari whooped their ass. Front assault? I can't wait.



    Great story on AI's front page. Very clever. Very 'subtle.' Cute.



    'Cease and desist'? Only fiction y'honour...pure fan speculation it wuz...



    Goes without saying that the new G5s would need a 'G5' display with iMac2 arm technology to go with them. If not 'arms' then something equally as arresting for a 23...30inch(?) display?

    Wow, do you guys really think Apple has that much in store(no pun intended) for WWDC? New G5 PowerMacs...brand new 15.? Powerbook.... G5s in all Powerbooks..."new" OS...new Apps...a camera?? I don't know, but if that's the case they will sell a lot of computers the rest of the year...I want mine!

    you're right, i highly doubt WWDC will be the showcase of all that



    BUT.... panther... part of it will be iChat 2... a major feature is gonna be video conferencing.... id imagine they will show that off even at a developers conference.



    970.... major news for developers.... probably has to be announced... maybe not to ship though.





    new powerbooks..... the powerbook is the most popular developer product. they released new powerbooks at the 99 WWDC I believe and gave one away every hour. Could see something similar.





    The other stuff, I dont see being announced there but who knows.

    I agree Applenut...that is a lot of new sh*t to introduce at a single event. About the video conferencing...I think that if true, Apple is gonna be tapping into a potentially HUGE market. Haven't analysts been saying that video conferencing is gonna be the next big thing the last 18 months or so? I hear video conferencing is VERY expensive at a corporate level...so if Apple designed software somehow managed to provide great quality video not only for corporations but for the masses it could be a very good thing marketshare-wise. Video e-mails anyone?

    But remember that there won't be a MWNY keynote by Jobs this year.

    I'm wondering how articulated displays will anchor the base so they're not top-heavy. Buy a display, get a free iMac system as a weight

    Well.. There's have already been rumors about the next displays being more light-weighted.. So this might mean that the base dont have to be THAT heavy! And, if we refer to that muckop Leonis posted, the plate that touches the table (Or floor if you will!) might be made of solid metal..



    New thoughts btw: 1.42 Ghz PowerMacs have a 3 weeks delivery time now! Where does that get us?

    This is why writing should be left to the pros:



    http://appleinsider.com/article.php?id=115



    It's like every Mac rumor ever discussed in the last 12 months wrapped up in the 'I got my Apple friend drunk the other night...' and submitted to Bulwer-Lytton. If anything in this trainwreck of innuendo proves to be true it will be purely coincidental.

    Why don't you just take it for what it is, some good clean fun?

    Geez, people need to lighten up around here!

    The guy should at least admit in some way that he gets the flesh for that silly mud in this very forum. Very bad writing indeed.

    Its supposed to be bad!



    its cheesey pulp fiction. maybe its a language thing. i thought it was hilarious. does it confirm or deny anything. nope. is it food for thought. yep. it was written that way to skirt a c&d.

    I'm sorry, but have you seen a 23"? If you had you'd never put a $2000 monitor on a flimsy little base like that. This thing is 20 something pounds and may balance straight up and down but will surely fall forward or backwards at simple force applied to it. The base is not wide or heavy enough to secure it to the desk.
