Does anyone here remember the sketch that was posted on these forums WAY back when the blue white G3 was announced? Ahh.. the good ol' days. Everyone thought it look SO goofy, and it turned out to be true. Same thing happened before the Quicksilver G4's were released.
I say real. And this is from someone who haven´t believed in anyhing since the workerbee pictures of the cube (so its as close to confirmed as you get)
Why? Gut feeling. And because that looks like a photocopy of the photocopy product info you get at mac shops here. AND the angle its placed in is excatly the same as it has been for all powermacs since the soon-to-be eol case. Just like the picture below.
Not that I like what I see \ Someone took a long vacation after designing the sun flower and the new iPod.
Almost all print is half tone, it's four colours made up from "half tone" dots.
The only exceptions are things like gravure... which are just weird.
I know that.
But this image seem to be extremely "halftoned", like a cheap flyer. I doubt Apple would print their new Powermacs on cheap flyers. Either that or this was a very small image that has been scaled. But from the size of the "wrinkles" on the paper it seems like the paper is prolly Letter sized. I also have dowloaded the pic from another site and this one shows "moire" (sp?) patterns. Prolly a scan from the original fake ;-)
Can anyone post the pic in this thread? I didn't get a change to see it....
The message boards at www.thinksecret.com have a picture posted that I think is the one discussed here. Look in the thread "Could this be it?" in Hardware Rumors and Discusion.

I haven't seen Apple print anything in halftones since...~trying to remember if his old SE or Centris 610's manual was printed in halftones~
Even the new boxes are printed in color.
Do I really have to state the obvious here?
The box is more compact than the previous case who is a waste of space and it looks more professional.
The strange thing is the little blurred rectangle : connectors ? i don't understand why they are not in the front : it's weird.
Looks like we've seen the new PowerMac.

hehehe. It looks cool to me, but until thinksecret shows a pic, then is when I'll believe. They were right about the pod.

WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THIS IMAGE CAME FROM.
? It could have been printed off this guys LaserWriter IINT for all we know.
? I have seen mac dealers print "cheap" flyers before.
You really can't start commenting on the half toning, until you have a better idea of where the image came from in the first place.
