    Well, you have to be pretty damn good to hack a site. You have to be even better to hack a store that grabs personal data and credit cards. That means you go to jail when you hack. Why risk going to jail for hacking a site when there's 1) no political statement, 2) no monetary gains and 3) so deep and hard to find and such a small detail?



    No hack. It's either accidental or purposeful mistake.

    I would LOVE to be sitting in Cupertino right now listening to Jobs scream his lungs out at everyone. Either that or I would love to here Phil's call to Steve explaining the f*** up.

    Thanks Kid, guess it's real.

    I didn't read through every post in this thread, so forgive me if someone already posted this, but the "3 PCI or PCI-X expansion slots" doesn't necessarily mean two different mainboards.



    Take a look at this image from a PCI-X article at Anandtech, it clearly shows how you can use either a PCI card or a PCI-X card in the same slot, but not both at the same time.







    Note 3GIO = PCI-X.

    Wait! G5??? I thought they were going with the 970? Isn't the "Gx" moniker a moto thing?

    G3 is an IBM processor. I think it's just an Apple thing.

    From the Ars forum





    "On calling the Apple store:



    Clamps: I was calling because you list the PowerMac G5 on your website in the Apple store. Is it for sale?



    Long pause. 10 seconds or more.



    Seller: All I can say now is that Apple cannot comment."

    Next question:



    What real-world performance does each model achieve? At what price?



    SOME suspense left for Monday!



    Oh... and the physical appearance. Which in Apple's case is also worthy of some excitement.



    Amazing specs. I would have bet money--nay, even Krispy Kremes--that nothing this good would be out any time soon.



    I suspect single 970s perform quite well--and they can sell more of them than if they offered duals and ran out!

    He's got to mention it. It would just be too funny. There's a million ways you could go with it. Something like first thing he says is ...



    "Well you know the spec's so lets skip to the bake off".



    Or maybe ... "Skip this slide you've seen it. Next ... Next ... "

    Jobs: "? which brings me to the new PowerMac lineup featuring the PPC G5 and USB 2.0, but that should come as no surprise to most of you I'm sure."



    Audience: *laughing*



    Jobs: "Shut up."



    And he assures us all that the guy who made the slip up has been fired, or at least gotten a good tongue lashing.

    Wow! The store came back up briefly but then I think they realized the image was still cached. It went back down again, and then when it came back up, the new-old image had a -1 appended to the end of it so it would load fresh.



    Wild. God I hope that is real.



    1.6 low end?



    Too bad there wasn't a picture of the actual case too......

    Optical I/O is cool.

    8GB DDR SDRAM is cool.

    Dual 2GHz 970 will be hot.



    *and there was much rejoicing*



    a much more interesting leaked pic than quibbles over case design



    any chance that some WWDC attendees live under rocks and won't know the specs below the "one-more-thing" curtain?

    PowerMacs sound good, lets hope they saved the 1.2 and 1.4ghz chips for the PowerBooks. 1.2in the 12" and 1.4 in the 15" and 17" models?

    maybe i'm just getting greedy.
