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.
The new imac looks a bit strage...But still cool.
Funny thing is that they say in the article that Steve should bundle a windows emulator with the imac. Though it's not a bad idea, I think a better idea would be for Apple to port windows to the mac. Emulation is too slow. they would have to do it themselves tho and not allow Microsoft to do it, or they'd find themselves ousted by the big M.
Best solution, IMHO : Apple creates a new underlying virtual machine operating system to allow for apple-ported windows (AWE, or Apple Windows Environment) and os X to run concurrently.
Unfortunately, you just can't do without windows these days...
...this is getting out of hand
Just what I always wanted. . .
is a worse mouse design than the original iMac

I used to keep an apple around for photoshop and illustrator...but there is no longer a reason. Everything that runs on apple runs on PC as well or better. A MAC is no easier to use, and crashes just as much as a PC. And things like DVD burning and mp3 players and all that apple crap are available for PC. Time to toss the rotten fruit in the garbage people. Give me a good reason to have a MAC!?!
Its a shame that people are buying MACs just cause they look neato!! Save a few hundred dollars and buy a PC that can do everything a MAC can do and more!
"like the old iMac because, as a piece of furniture, it gives any room a modern, happy-go-lucky feel that makes me smile. "

My Full Tower Made Outa Steel Damn Nearly Fucking Bullet Proof Can Support Over 200LBs case makes ME smile.
Its beige.
I like beige.
Beige and grey.
Anything else should get you SHOT. Dead. And then beaten.
With a cat.
And then burned.
Without the cat.
(nothing against cats, I love cats, wouldn't want to ever harm a cat even if the cat did own an imac, but damnit, people with colored computers. . . . Unless they made the case themselves of course, then _THAT_ is cool.

The edsel was innovative, so was betamax...look what happened with both of them. Hope Apple enjoys that 3% market share while it lasts a few more months. Nite nite Apple...neat case designs and a new interface for BSD operating system wont keep you alive. Talk about rip off...they couldnt even write thier own OS!!!
Insulting an AC -- who, in fact, is no more anonymous than you, "cygnus" -- for his AC status is an automatic contest disqualification. YHL, HAND. And please, use some profanity in your reply to this post, in order to emphasize your point. I can't wait.
