    Less than convincing, at best... the thread at MacRumors summarizes why pretty well.



    We'll see come Tuesday, anyway.

    They have no reason to require a built-in FireWire port.



    The reason why panther required a built-in firewire port was to get rid of the old world architecture (beige G3...)



    The original iMac (bondie blue) is able to run panther.



    So, it's fake...

    Origins of GNAA and "Gary Niger".

    man, beyond fake. though i wouldn't put it past apple to create their own konfabulator-style runtime environment, but the look and feel of those "gadgets" is terrible.

    A Firewall Log would sure be a nice feature, but unfortunately, I doubt we'll see that with all these shots being fake.

    Yes, i agree with Outsider... anything coming from the GNAA that isn't shitstorm software is most likely to be fake.



    Also, notice the many spelling and capitalization errors.

    Fakes and it's all a gag from GNNA:

    Don't be fooled into theories about missing periods and other little errors. It's pointless.

    That's what we all said about the leaked Panther system prefs shots with the PrefPane labeled "Expose"...

    TS now says they are the real McCoy... To say that this deeply disapponits my Tiger expectations would be a gross understatement.



    And what about Apple still competing with small developers (think Knofabulator here)? Didn't something like this happen also with a tool named Watson, that Apple essentially copied and packaged as Sherlock 2?







    Now, if only I could get GNOME 2.6 to compile on my Athlon64 I might just leave the iBook to handle iTunes and little else...

    No, they didn't.



    "But today, one reliable Think Secret source said that the screenshots are genuine;"



    You know, "journalistic standards"? That thing about needing at least two independent sources before a story is deemed reportable? Besides, claiming a source said something is true or false isn't the same as the actual site/newspaper/channel/etc saying something is true or false.



    (The rest of the story is fine, it's just meta news, talking about people talking about it being real or fake).



    "MacRumors also confirmed that many of the concepts depicted in the shots are a part of 10.4."



    Concepts...depicted? Anyone can make mockups of some of the better-known/likely concepts for 10.4. Convincingly representing concepts and actual screencaptures of the real thing are not the same.

    MacRumors says that Apple legal asked them to be removed (from which site uncertain - ThinkSecret?). Guess they were real. We;ll know soon enough.

    Here's my take on these screenshots...



    While they could be real (who knows until tomorrow), they also could be fake.



    But there is one thing I know since I have switched from Windows to Mac OS X...



    Apple does a pretty good job of implementing features through an elegant user interface. I have been impressed with Apple's job since 10.1 and think that they just know how to make things look nice.



    While I agree that brushed metal isn't the greatest interface, it still has a subtle and elegant layout. It doesn't distract you too much from the window contents.



    I think those screenshots are the exact opposite of what I have seen Apple put out lately (especially that red colored cleared "gadget"). Plus that itunes gadget doesn't resemble iTunes at all. I'm sure Apple wants to keep the interfaces looking somewhat the same as not to confuse the user.



    I don't know what to think really. All I know is that those screenshots are ugly. The features sound great, but the visual implementation is way off from Apple's way of doing things.

    MacRumors took theirs down, I think ThinkSecret still has them up. And of course, they are being hosted in the AppleNova forums.



    I for one, think some of them are real. System Prefs are definitely real.

    Perhaps they could be real, but only poor mockups of the actual thing to avoid spilling all of the beans about what TIGER is going to introduce?
