if the keyboard is a bluetooth one maybe they dropped it?
Except the specs only say Bluetooth ready, so I don't think they could have a bluetooth keyboard built in. It looks like it is still an add on option, like Airport cards.
lets assume these are the specs that will ship, which i am somewhat suspicious of, but lets assume. WHEN will these ship? I wouldn't be surprised if apple milks the G4 'professional' machines as long as it possibly can, despite the G4 should have been dumped entirely in 2001.
and why all the dell bashing? i doubt people who use dell computers give a crap about what goes on at apple anyway, so trolling on their sites is pretty pointless.
June 19 - 23:58 EDT__The online Apple Store inadvertently posted the specs of the Power Mac G5 late Thursday. The system details came in the form of a .gif image that appeared on the store's Power Mac G4 page. As of this posting, the image is still up. If (when) it gets pulled, you can view our screenshot here.
I wonder if you could sell t-shirts outside the keynote with the specs printed on them in a really big font for old Steve-o to see. Nothing like a few thousand (?) people sitting in front of you telling you "FACE!"
Well, it's funny to me anyway...

actually, i think you will find people who'd buy them, if not already wearing one

You know, this kind of screw-up really puts Apple in a corner.
There's no "trademarked" image that they can claim violates their copyright, or trade secrets, and send a C&D to sites that display it -- it's just type. But it's set type from their own site, from their own server, which is even more convincing (unless you want to entertain far-fetched conspiracy theories about rogue Mac geniuses hacking the Apple Store).
It's kinda great.
Perhaps they'll try sending out the C&Ds anyway. Or more likely... enter a complete state of denial until Monday afternoon.
I just paid in $1,600.00 on a credit card at the beginning of this month to make some room. I'm paying in another $1,000.00 when I get my next bill. I hope these specs are real cuz I'm going for a Dual 2GHz baby!
How many of you are waiting for 2nd generation 970's now?
The one thing that makes me think this whole thing is fake is those specs are like an Apple Insider forum goers wet dream. You know the dream. The one that has not come true in about 4 years.
I think I need to put off this whole engagement idea. Ring fund is now the Mac fund.
Sorry, baby, maybe next year!
Who came up with this "three months salary" crap? Obviously the Fiancee/Jeweler Mafia. I used to think a car made a nice engagement "ring." Now I'm thinking... G-something.
If it is a hack, Apple has to come out tomorrow and say they were hacked. Imagine the scene on Monday if the release specs are lower than the leaked/hacked specs. Apple's stock would tank and Steve would be standing there saying "They are still pretty fast." If it is a hack they have to prepare the stock holders, WWDC attendees, and the groups of people they are expecting to come to the Apple Stores (not to mention the mac-loyal forum groups).
There are some definite differences in the G4 and supposed G5 specs, the font sizes are different and the G5 specs are bulleted and the same color as the heading, unlike anything else on the site. This could all be a new change in site format or a hack.
I really hope this is all true. I will be watching Apple's press releases closely tomorrow though. I am looking forward to not having to make excuses for my speed lagging Mac. Time will tell, but if I don't hear anything from Apple tomorrow, my guess it that we will see these specs on Monday.

That way no official build-up towards dissapointment or hum ha-s

Apple leaks Power Mac G5 specs

Steve: Hmm, he's right. Guys, make the next powermac 5 times as fast. Thanks.
Those are dream specs man. That is so mind bogglingly fast we can't even comprehend.
I wouldn't be surprised if apple milks the G4 'professional' machines as long as it possibly can,
as many have stated, there are not a lot left in the channel.

EP,
shouldn't your post have read "...G5 it's!
"it's" ? contraction of "it is"
p.s. RE: leaked specs...better than viagra...i just can't explain to my girlfriend why i was so damn frisky tonight!

I wonder if Apple Legal sent the Apple Store a C & D.

...it certainly hurts to own one right now, knowing this is coming!

Opus...
its seems the general consensus is that the posted specs. are not a hack but a internal #uckup from within apple.
if these specs are true.......HOLY MOTHER OF JESUS!
1ghz bus speed!
that is %uckin outta control man!
optical audio in?
thank you apple!
but then apart of my is sayin:"what if this is steve pulling our chain"?
we all know steve likes to %uck with the rumour sites.
if this is an apple prank it will go down in history.
i must say the hype behind the whole WWDC has exceeded any in apple history,and thats saying something.
i read on another board that IBM had the 970 processors ramped up to something like 4.3 ghz in the lab!
if apple is bringing 2ghz processors to the table from the getgo that bodes well for IBM'S processor roadmap.
one thing for certain:the entire macintosh world will change for the better on monday!
ALL THE DOUBTERS AND PC FLUNKIES SUCK THIS!!!!!!!!!
