Apple Confirms G5 Based iMac to Ship in September
evn writes "Apple Insider and Yahoo News are carrying stories about Apple's 3rd quarter report including confirmation of a G5 iMac during Apple's webcast conference call to discuss the filing: 'IBM's manufacturing problems have also impacted our next generation iMac. We normally don't talk about unannounced products but we feel you need to know about the current situation. The new iMac is based on the G5 processor. We could not secure the necessary supply of G5 processors to launch our new iMac on schedule: and as we indicated a few weeks ago, we now plan to announce and ship it in september.' Apple made $61 million dollars profit on $2.01 billion dollars in Q3/04 and had the highest CPU shipments in three and a half years."
Apple pre-announcing a product, that is. Combine that with the Garfield movie, and I think we're only one very short step away from Armageddon... (but then, with such things as the Garfield movie, Armageddon can only be an improvement.)
What Jobs didn't announce was that they had started a new initative called "iSoul" where for a small "fee" you can have a G5 imac.
Yes Francis, the world has gone crazy.
Perhaps they should switch to a supplier that can deliver. I hear that AMD and Intel can. ;->
I was with you until you mentioned "eunuch"... :-)
Just for reference, what were the profit numbers for Gateway, say in the last two or three years? Hint, look below the X axis of the chart...
So Gateway's profits are going back in time? Time to invest in Gateway!
Apple confirms new G5 will boast 1.21 gigawatts of power, and cost about the same!

Wasn't OSX based on eunuchs?
"Derp de derp."
Just like the Apple iMac production lines have?
I think you'll find that 2^32 is actually pretty close to 4billion, so they must already have a 64bit bank account, that means they need to get $2^64 (not +1, we start counting from 0 remember, and probably so does the bank). So when they get $18 quintillion (~ $18,000,000,000,000,000,000) they will go bankrupt.

One iPants beta tester was admitted to the Logan County Memorial Hospital with localized burns in the groin area. He has so far refused to speak to the press, but witnesses report his last coherent statement before passing out was "I can take it! Nnngh! It's not that hot! Aaaiiieee!!"
Neither Apple nor Levi Strauss representatives would comment on the case.
When asked about the similarity between this case and the infamous coffee incident, McDonalds Corp also had no comment.
The new version of iPant will reportedly not include rivets.
Same goes for ITMS songs. I tried buying a track soon after this 100,000,000 song promotion started, and the system told me the track was on back order!
p.s. it's supposed to be funny damnit... not a troll.
"Kafkaesque"? I didn't realize they turned people into giant cockroaches at the Genius Bar.

Will they make the iMac out of Aluminum, driving the design teams for other companies to slash their wrists.

My 12 year old Compaq died a few months ago, and my 6 year old Dell is still going strong. My iBook is in for repairs for the third time.
I also am privelidged to know that Sun's reputation for quality is completely nonsense. However, my 6 year old Sun machine is going just as strong as my Dell.
I'm not saying that you are wrong; just saying that you have no clue what you are talking about.
Ya know there are 52 weeks in a year, right?
Some months are more than 28 days...
My other car is first.
That Osborne is neat, for sure, but does it run NetBSD?
