    A little more then 12 hours to go and no leaked photos? I know AI nailed the details of the case, but I thought we'd get a photo of it or something juicy.

    Everybody should go back and read Kormac's posts to see what is coming. He has real insider knowledge.




    I'm really disappointed in the rudeness of everyone on these forums. What did I ever do to you? I post what was told to me by a friend, who is in fact a manager. I felt that it was considered a valid piece of information. Do I feel that it contrasts with the "leaked" G5 stats? Yes I do. But since no one knows for sure what is going to be announced tomorrow until it comes out of Steve's mouth who the hell are you to judge me? I blow goats? Grow up, already for christ's sake we're talking about computers here. So go to your sources for real insider information. Honestly, I've never seen a larger bunch of whining babies who give mac users a bad name.

    I absolutely have NO inside information, and know very little about the upcoming Macs.



    I want the G5's to come though! However something tells me in my brain that the specs posted are too far-fetched to be real.



    If Apple really pulls this off, I will be very pleased indeed.



    Go Steve in 16 hours!

    In addition, I would have thought by now that Think Secret would have posted the prices.

    Nice how you've narrowed down your source to being a manager at one of 3 Apple stores in your state.



    I'm sure he'll be happy that you at least left out his name.

    There better be a new powermac tomorrow, they can call it whatever they want. G4pi, G^2 I don't care, all I know is I want one. And if they don't announce anything super insanely sweet and radical then I'll poop my pants and in the words of Ace Ventura "just wait longer."



    Thank you and goodnight. We shall see what the morrow brings.



    *CONFIRMED* It's a new Apple two-button mouse with an insanely great plastic scroll wheel with Steve's face on it.

    First, le me apologize on behalf of those forum members who are being c**ks to you. Those kind of comments are not allowed and can be reported to a moderator. Just FYI



    I would ask though, that you revise your "everyone"comment. It's not everyone. There are like 7,000 members here...keep that in mind.



    Happy posting

    If Apple does not announce a G5 computer on Monday then there will be hell to pay with the FTC and shareholders. This could include a class action suit as well as eventual jail time for the execs of the company. A publicly traded company cannot print erroneous information on its own website...... unless, it was hacked. In that case they had an obligation to immediately announce the listing was incorrect. They did not.



    Apple will announce a G5. No doubt about it.






    Thank goodness someone here knows what they're talking about.

Obviously it wasn't done with the intent to fool anyone into thinking this is the new G5. To see how much smaller the G5 is compared to the G4? That's my only logical assumption.



    iPeon needs to get himself some iHumor.

    I wonder if Steve finally figured out that the best defense is a good offense. A broad, but subtle misinformation campaign would keep everybody off-balance and not knowing what to expect from the show. There is no official statement from Apple, just bits and pieces from individuals who would no doubt have fun dropping misleading hints. Apple would have no legal obligation to clarify anything and as long as the rumours were going in the direction they wanted, why should they say anything at all?

    It does make much more sense that since the leaked specs got such widespread attention Apple would be compelled to issue some statement if in fact the leaked info was a complete hoax.



    Tomorrow will be interesting.

    Maybe Apple Stores are like McDonalds, where they have 10-15 managers running each store.





    About the good offense, maybe Steve himself is busy all weekend registering under sneaky aliases to spread his iFUD nice and deep.

    mmm, not sure I would consider that 'juicy'. Sticky maybe. I just hope he didn't use industrial strength glue.

    What else could he be doing? Preparing for his keynote presentation tomorrow? Not bloody likely.

What I can say is that it is there is a new system at the Apple Stores and it's nothing that anyone is expecting! He wouldn't confirm but all I can say, is hot damn!





    Ahem!
