Apple Previewing New Power Mac?
dunric writes "CNET.com reports that Apple Computer may be previewing a new Power Mac, complete with dual G5 processors and a more advanced memory configuration." The "previewing" isn't intentional, though -- the report is based on service and repair documents distributed last month and reported on AppleInsider.com. AppleInsider has taken down at least one image from their report, but have added an artist's rendering.
What you seem to not understand is that Apple is the best at what they do, they are not the best for everyone.
I was exclusively a Mac user from the time I was 14 until I was 21. From 21 through 25 I was mostly a Mac user. Now at 28 I almost never touch a Mac. Apple's machines are no longer the best machines for what I do.
If they were the best at everything, they'd have more than an 8% share of the market.

I don't know why people don't realize that they should reply to comments they disagree with rather than mod them down. Really, that's not what the moderate button is for.
As for apple bullying people around, I don't think they've ever gone to court about something like this. I'd doubt they ever would, since it's bad PR, and they'd be suing the people who buy their products anyway.
Most websites put pictures like these on the internet with the understanding that they'll have to take them down in a day or so. It's kind of a game for them. They get the "secret" pictures, then put them up to show that they got them. The warning from Apple Legal is just the icing on the cake, reaffirming to them that they are uber-leet detectives living on the edge, always in danger of being shut down. Really it works out well for apple since it builds interest in their products.
