Anyone else catch this article? What a freakin crock. As an Apple stockholder, I am pissed.

I think it is just a slow day for Think Secret...
If Apple did in fact know that the computers were not going to be able to ship in February they are opening themselves up to lots of shareholder lawsuits. I cannot image why they would be so stupid especially right now with all the corporate accountability stuff. People would have ordered any way, why not announce the right time of arrival. This shows that Apple as a whole has way to much ego.
<strong>Seems to me that a company so dead set on "Not" using MacWorlds to release new hardware, sure seems liked they rushed into this one just to show off new hardware.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Well sure but I honestly think if Apple knew they would would not be shipping for a while they would have stated as such
<strong>That was a pretty well researched article by Thinksecret. It further proves why they are currently the top rumor site. The original Powerbook G4 was also delayed a long time.

What? No I think you're mistaken. What arguement would you use in court. Roy Black couldn't win this case. Announcement like this aren't legally binding. You'd have to prove you incurred significant damages but even that would be a stretch.
I'm inclined to believer Jared on this one. Slow day at TS

<strong>Im mostly annoyed at the fact that Im going to have to pay interest (purchased with credit card) on a computer that I might not be getting for another six weeks (plus an additional two weeks because I live in Korea). I hope it stays a flagship product for more than a few weeks !</strong><hr></blockquote>
If your credit card was charged for a product that has not shipped yet, then something is wrong. Contact Apple or, better yet, contact your credit card company.

Where did you read the original PBG4's were delayed a long time? They were announced 09-JAN-2001. I picked mine up on 17-FEB-2001 at CompUSA. That's barely a month after original announcement.
Of course, I wish I knew about Rev. A-itis. This was my first Mac.
If we are looking for a battle, this is not what should start it. <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" />
i should have thought "blah blah blah"
<strong>here i read the words "article" and thought "documented, well thought out journalism".

Agreed ... think secret has gone from interesting articles and accurate predictions to rediculous guessing (iTablet) to trash reporting (secretly taped meeting)
MOSR never even stooped this low.

PBG4 Dude~
Is your PowerBook the 12 inch model? Because I don't think anyone had received their 17 inch model yet!

Read his post again. He was talking about 2001.
