Time Canada Shows New iMac
Kira-Baka writes "Okay, Time Canada screwed up big time. They have pictures of the new iMac which will be released tomorrow during the Mac World Expo keynote on their front page. it is likely that they will be getting a letter soon so though..." I'll be posting a full report on the keynote and other MacWorld goodness tomorrow as it happens. Time Canada seems a bit slow, but in short, think little pod of iMac with superdrive and flat panel screen. Update: 01/07 13:22 GMT by T : Several readers have pointed out that the story can (for now) still be found mirrored here, though it's been pulled from the Time site.
...i wonder if they'll be able to countersue for medical expenses related to removing Steve Jobs' foot out of their ass.
Just raise the taxes on crack.
If you're a webmaster at timecanada.com, I suggest you start cleaning out your desk now.
ooohhhh shit... Steve is gonna be pissed.
Heads will roll because of this.
Reality has a liberal bias
Yeah, I had trouble clicking on that big picture on the front page. Thanks for the link.
The first iMac looked like a 1970's dumb terminal. This one looks like a 1950's television set. Extrapolating, I can't imagine what the next iMac will look like, since TVs weren't prevalent in the 1930's. Oh wait...
Or more specifically an Appleseed cluster of these...
I'm a loner Dottie, a Rebel.
Is it just me, or does anyone expect this thing to jump around the desk trying to find a ball? It really does look like a desk-lamp... I wonder how much light it produces?

The slab was a pizzabox 14" deep, 14" wide, and 2.5" tall.
oh, point taken. sorry.
but you *could* fit a lot of *pizza* in that amount of space..
Just raise the taxes on crack.
...this made it past the lameness filter, yet when I tried posting an entry from the IOCCC, it barfed at me.
The story date is set at January 14, 2002.
;-D
That's the problem with the Metric system. I know it's all 'logical' and stuff, but you can never tell what day it actually is. Frickin' Canadians.
Oh and by the way.....
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.
Hmm.... add a magnifying lens and some motor oil, and you've got the computers from the movie Brazil
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
blame canada?
It's the biggest mistake to come out of Canada since Celine Dion.
please don't post like this.
it looks like ass.
Kid-proof tablet..
"damnit, people with colored computers."
hmm that sounds racist to me! what is it that you people have you agains computers of color?
Don't call me back. Give me a call back. Bye. So yeah. But bye our, well, but alright we are on a shirt this chill.
It's a shaving mirror!

That's because Toho *loves* their Macs, and Godzilla and Mothra are Apple's biggest fans. You might also enjoy the following all Apple kaiju roundup:
"Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2": MechaGodzilla is designed by GForce using a huge amount of Macs.
"Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla": Miki, a telepath usually associated with Godzilla, is given a mission by Mothra's Cosmos to protect Godzilla from the humans so that Godzilla can save the Earth (and his son) from SpaceGodzilla. Miki views the coming of SpaceGodzilla on a Mac.
"Godzilla vs. Destroyer": The grandson of Dr. Yemane (from the first Godzilla movie in 1954) proudly displays a poster with a big Apple logo in his dorm room.
"Rebirth of Mothra": No Macs here, Apple is in deep trouble (December 14, 1996). What's a Mac-loving, heroic, wonder-working deity to do, when all she has left is a charred apple sapling (which appears several times in the movie, watch for it) in a bleak, scorched landscape? Simple. Resurrect it (and the surrounding 8,000 acres of ex-forest). The little sapling puts out leaves, and before you know it, is a whopping big tree on a grassy hill with flowers and an even bigger moth landing in the valley below. Days later, Apple makes a surprise announcement: Steve Jobs is coming back. Taiki's quote is telling: "Nobody is gonna die, mister. Mothra's gonna come and save us!"
"Rebirth of Mothra 2" (12/13/1997): The Mac is back, with Mothra's little avatar Fairy perched on top! Mothra herself shows the future: transforming into Aqua Mothra and shooting little light blue X's at her foe.
Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidora, and Baragon are currently starring in a movie in Japan (see www.godzilla.co.jp for more details). I don't know if Macs are in it, but the director was sure bragging about all he could do with his Mac this time around. (If you ever want to see Godzilla and Mothra in the US theatres again, write Tristar!)

No you are not. I did the same thing last night, watching "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2". BTW, I'm posting this on a Snow iMac (one of the original snow ones) named "Fairy".
OS X: the Apple of Mothra's Aqua eye.
