Yah thanks for the tip <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> .
I completely lost my composure when I saw it and all I could think of was getting it out as fast as I could in case it got pulled (yes I know the PF version would have been even faster but my brain was cooked at that point).
Can you believe how pissed Steve is going to be over this?????
I seriously feel so bad for Steve right now. TIME totally stole his thunder. Hopefully this will be pulled in the morning before too much damage is done....wait, what am I talking about...its already too late!!!

I totally agree with you. As someone who works in Media Relations I can say that this is a total screw-up on Apple's part...and since it is Steve who controls everything from development to the Ninjas, he has only himself to blame for this.
As for Time Canada, they should have had the commom decency and journalistic integrity NOT to break the Embargo they are obviously breaking.
On a lighter note, I have gotten over my initial "what the f*** is that?" reaction...and actually love the damn thing. Now, we need only the MHz (GHz?) numbers.
If there isnt anything else I could care less. IT IS SO AMAZING! YESTERDAY WE HAD SHIT, TOMMOROW ERRRR> I MEAN NOW WE HAVE THIS ****ING AMAZING THING!
I thnk its a screw up the webmaster guys just wanted to get there work done i guess or were just old just to update it to be ahead of schedule whithout them knowing that they were supposed to unless of course the web gusy are mac fans
Well if the iMac is the show, we've already seen it. Steve will be livid if he isn't already. I feel bad now
I think the ONLY reason Time mentioned the iPhoto stuff is because thats BUNDLED with the iMac. That has nothing to do with anything else at the show. They only know about the iMac, not the entire show or Apple's line up or they wouldv'e mentioned more.
I'm beginning to wonder if'n this ain't all she wrote.
I hope not, but holy cow, a leaked Time article kinda takes the wind outta yer sails, and I can start to believe that Steve thinks the iLamp is cool enough to justify 7 days worth of headlines.
Those pages do not get done in 2 seconds, they have obviously been ready for at least a few hours if not more (probably a few days). A lot of web pages have things in automatic schedules.
It wouldn't surprise me if Time Canada had the update and at midnight their time the new issue was automatically put online, regardless of the content.

I'm wondering...
I know that Apple *never* leaks...
But this is just to big.
How could Time screw up this badly?
The freaking article is dated Jan 14... could the server really just be accidentally serving *next weeks* stuff?
Or...
Is the leaked iMac a clever way to get even more NON-MAC people to pay attention tomorrow... for the really really big announcement.
I mean a G4 iMac--even one shaped like Luxor Jr.-- isn't "Way Beyond."
It's cool, but not "Way Beyond" the rumor sites.
There really must be something else, right?

I still go with most of my initial "gut feelings" from page 12 of this thread, but I'm more confident now that the Time picture came out.
Pro Series:
G5's in 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, Dual 1.4 GHz flavors (extreme wishful thinking, they break 2 GHZ)
DDR Ram
CD-RW on Base model, DVD-R on top ends
NVidia GF2 on base, GF3 on top ends (wishful thinking of GF4 BTO)
IMac Series:
G4's in 866MHz, 933MHz, 1 Ghz flavors
133MHz Bus
CD-RW on Base model, DVD-R on top ends
ATI on base, NVidia GF2 on top (GF3 BTO)
Home control unit version w/ builtin AirPort, and A/V control including H/W and S/W
TiBook series:
G4 Apollos between 800 MHz and 1 GHz
DDR Ram
Combo drive CD-RW/DVD
New updated ATI video
iBook Series:
No changes
"One More Thing":
Got to go with iPad in two flavors, pad and tablet
Both have Firewire/Infrared
Both have color screens
The tablet will be able to remote control OS X Macs,
The Pad will only remote interface
Both use handwriting recognition
optional I/R keybd
and if that Time picture is right, That's one ugly mahine, and I'm sure Steve will be pissed.
This thread is awesome, thanks people!

Sorry...
Does the new iMac fit ALL the hype?
7 Days "This one is big. Even by our standards."
6 Days "Count the days. Count the minutes. Count on being blown away."
5 Days "Beyond the rumor sites. Way beyond"
4 Days "A backstage pass to the future."
3 Days "To boldly go where no PC has gone before"
2 Days "Full speed ahead: Lust Factor Ten."
I'm not too sure... and I guess that's why I'm askin...
