This site, AppleInsider, claimed in a News topic to have sketches of the forthcoming iMac G5. Will we see these sketches before the iMac is released, will we see them ever?
I don't see any reason why they would say they had them, when they didn't have them. It's much more likely that they had some sketches of questionable lineage, like NittanyLionTosh's, and they turned out to be spurious.

Mine was a joke. AppleInsider claimed in a news article that they had obtained sketches from a reliable source. I made my own sketches. There's a big difference.
It is very possible that the sketches were found out to be false, and as such, they will not produce them. That is the optimist in me saying that.
Honestly though, I don't think they had them in the first place.
Or maybe the Apple legal team discovered the leack before the web lackies could upload the images, Apple hates leaks...funny, it is just the opposite of what the car companies do, they drive their now cars arround a track for the press with the bumpers, head and tail lights covered with paper, maybe apple doesn'e like the "wet their whistle" approche.
A.I. can post it, or a revised more "realistic" photo-shopped version and wait for Apple to send a cease and desist e-mail. As long as you don't show an actual photo you can more times then not be left alone. If Apple complains then, well, the cat's out of the bag. Show the sketch and get it over with........ (yeah, sure). We'll more then likely get a preview of the iMac the night before. 8 days.
If we didn't have them then the news story wouldn't say that we do.
I don't appreciate being called a liar. I wish I had never taken time out of my life to even respond to this thread. Any more crap and it'll be locked.
Like I said before, I do not have the password for this account, so I can not post from Messiahtosh while on my PowerBook. The un-banned account is tied to my iMac, which I do not use very much.
And by the way, if anyone has slipped up, it is AppleInsider. You claimed that you had and would show sketches of the new iMac, yet nothing has been revealed and there is no way to prove that you guys are not lying, unless we see the alleged sketches.
It's ridiculous to be fretting over sketches. I recall seeing the article where AppleInsider stated that they had obtained sketches. I don't doubt that this website does have sketches from a reliable source - but it is their decision as to when or if they wish to release the sketches.
They may not wish to release them due to any legal issues with Apple. They may not wish to release them due to poor quality of the sketches. It really doesn't matter. While AppleInsider (and other rumors sites as well) don't always get 100% reliable information from sources, they don't make stuff up (at least AI, MacRumors, and ThinkSecret do not). Based on previous records, we can assume that AI does have sketches and has their own reasons for not releasing them. That's good enough for me. Besides, we've only got a week to go anyways.

The design has been pretty well described, sketch it in your mind!
If the quality is bad, why not take what you can see of them, and do an artist's rendition of them, have a member here mock one up.

I didn't accuse you of accusing me of anything, my comment was aimed at NittanyLionTosh.
I think you've slipped up. Duplicate names are not tolerated. Check your PMs.
Thanks

Just a few more days anyway, and any sketches won't matter at all.
