But come tomorrow on the site, we might have somet ing more interesting ...;-)
It had beetter not be another wind-up! Although the last one was very good (kudos to philbot - tell us what it really was!) I don't think I can stand having my hopes raised again - I can barely sleep as it is!
Phil, I'm sending your address to the Unibomber. You should be receiving the first package in the mail within a week. Please open immediately at close range!
I hope I have kept a few (70,000+) people entertained for a couple of days!
PS. yes it was a LaCie 20" LCD in a powerbook box.
Aah gotta love Photoshop!
I'm constantly amazed at the "Oh gee, that was a good one" attitude of AI members when hoaxes like this are perpetrated by one of our own. philbot is a jerk for even considering such a selfish and juvenile endeavor.
Sh*t like this gives the Mac rumor community and AI in particular a bad name and everyone applauds it? I don't get it. We're supposed to be here to help each other sift through the signal to noise ratio, not add to it.

Couldn't agree more. It's just pathetic. I guess those who belived it think they don't look as bad if they take it with a smile
What does it really matter anyway? The iMac introduction is less than three days away now. At worst, Phil's hoax was a distraction. And the way some of your lives seem to revolve around the G5 iMac, I think some levity is badly needed. You people take this stuff WAY too seriously. It's just a freakin computer.

I don't quite get your attitude. I see these things as a way to pass time waiting for the newest thing from Apple.
Hoax or real it is always interesting to see how enthusiastic people get whether they buy into it or fight it.
And sometimes these "hoaxes" turn out to be real.
Bring on the next one I say. Late Monday can't get here soon enough.
I think philbot is really Phil Schiller. He knows he can't deliver a keynote nearly as well as Steve Jobs so he posted the picture of an ugly iMac G5 to lower our expectations. That way when he unveils the real deal it will look all that much better to us and he will receive thundering applause.

Look at the postt above by JtheLemur. If you have an LCD you need to tip it. The words "Fake Fake Fake" appear.

Can't wait for Tuesday now...

Yes, it may well be an old display box, but read the comment underneath by the guy who *claims* he took the picture for iPodFrance:
