New iMac Pictures Leaked?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yeah-well-maybe dept.

krimmc writes "Pictures have been posted on the internet of the supposed new mac design which will feature the guts of the computer behind the flat panel monitor. The new computers are to debut as early as next week and its creating a buzz among current apple users. News.com has also published coverage of the new design." As with most of these things, we won't really know if it's real until Apple cease and desists the website. Pictures are really crappy looking, so its hard to tell anything anyway.

    Looking at the current G5, much of the space is taken up by cooling apparatus. Surely, there isn't enough room, from what one can see in the picture, to fit a G5 and the requisite hot air pathways/fans and avoid burning off the LCD.

    Yes, even the article sais the Max pictures are a hoax. Yet another article posted on Slashdot without any credibility - the editors should have checked the story better before posting it.

    Gateway is already on its 5th generation of such a product. The Profile is very similar in description, but has been out for quite a few years. I find it hard to believe tht Apple would try to imitate an existing product, Steve Jobs seem more innovative than that when it comes to packaging hardware.

    Why does Slashdot insist on posting every single Mac rumor? 99% of these things are bogus, and are usually debunked within 10 replies. It's not news, it's just crap.

    I want an all aluminum single processor headless mac, to give an entry level machine without a monitor. I think a lot more people would go Mac if they weren't forced to either get an expensive LCD display or a top-of-the-line dual processor system.

  5. Cease and desist by pajamacore · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A cease and desist from Apple Legal won't necessarily mean this is the new iMac. Claiming something is an Apple product when it's not is pretty worthy of legal action.

    Oh, by the way (to those who modded up this crap about the words FAKE FAKE FAKE being encoded into the color channels), these parent and grandparent posts are hoaxes, as well. How many of you actually opened a photo editor and split the channels before modding this insightful? That's what I thought.
