I'll tell you what. If Steve doesn't bring out some heavy duty Intel destroying machines at ghz + with new casings etc, Steve WILL be lynched live on stage.

This one is harder, but I've at least partially cracked it.

Symmetry suggests a pattern. Here's my translation. I am assuming the symmetry is just for emphasis.

Also, look at the last posts about future Mac stuff on each of the three main MAc rumor sites (MOSR, AI, Thinksecret). Discount MOSR's 1/2 poasting as it came out after this message.
MOSR:12/20
Thinksecret:12/28
AI: 12/19
20*28*19=10640, which is 2000 more than yesterday's magic number. What is the significance of 2000? Is it a reference to something which occured in 2000 (Cube, maybe)? Another possibility:
Subtract 2002 (the current year) and get 8638. This number represents the rumor sites. Apple's 8640 is "beyond the rumor sites. Way beyond."
Yes, this is an even bigger stretch than yesterday.

If you divide the product of these numbers by their sum you get 15552/32=486. This has all the major numbers of the magic number 8640. This might also be a reference to that old Intel chip. Why Apple would make this reference, I have no idea.
Another possibility:
Take the product of these numbers.

Apple is now 25 years old, and this is 2002. Multiply these two numbers together to get

Subtract the former from the latter. You will get

There are 4 days to MWSF, so divide by 4.

This is close to 8640. Furthermore, if you average it with 8640, you will get

which is extraordinarily close to 8633, which is the number representing the iMac and PowerMac lineup in my initial post.
