Dodgy rumours

[jaiyen]

I won't believe it until Apple sues The Register ;)

Re:Dodgy rumours

[jthayden]

Buy a G4 PowerBook now and forget about all the rumors.

Go ahead, but from what I hear, you'll regret it next Tuesday.

Free Advertising, All Around!

[goldspider]

So The Register gives Apple free advertising, and Slashdot gives The Register free advertising.

I'll be looking for the Slashdot links on Apple's website... you know, to complete the circle.

correct link form article

[minus_273]

if you want to see what the PB g5 looks like now, go directly to the marketing site . I think the details should be self explanatory

Re:correct link form article

[bwalling]

Man, it looks a lot like the soon to arrive PowerBook G6!

Also noticed...

[no_opinion]

A 1x1 jpeg for the new iWarmer - a special USB powered heatsink for the G5 laptop that doubles as a drink warmer.

Of Course

[captnitro]

No, no, you've all got it wrong. They're definitely going to have Powerbooks out earlier than expected, probably as soon as next week! And the new versions will feature a magical box that turns dirt into pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt's tits that print money -- STANDARD!!

How do I know? Well, I just bought a Powerbook.

Jeez man

[paranode]

Shut your iHole...

it MUST be true!

[Bingo Foo]

Look what else is on its way any time now.

It's on a web page, so you know it's true.

Re:Pretty conceited...

[torpor]

Pretty conceited of you to extend the adjunct on cynicism through evaluative assessment of his criticism ..

How is this a shock?

[sulli]

There will clearly be a Powerbook G5. Just as there were a PowerBook G3 and G4. What is the big news here?

A G5 Mac Mini, or a Powerbook shuffle, now that would be news. Or a Newton OS Mac PDA phone iPod Airport Express thingy with no broadcast flag and dual processors. But aren't exactly banner headlines.

Re:Since when is Slashdot an Apple Rumors site?

[Anonymous Coward]

heresy?

did he speak out against god or something?

OOOOOOH, you meant HEARSAY
ok, now I got ya

think I'm just being annoying and difficult there? Guess what, you are too.

Re:Since when is Slashdot an Apple Rumors site?

[Em Adespoton]

Looks like heresy to me just like every other statement out there. When I said that I want an official statement I mean OFFICIAL. From Apple on Apple.com.

I'm not sure that word means what you think it means ;) Just to clarify, did you mean heresy, or hearsay?

Re:Since when is Slashdot an Apple Rumors site?

[Space Coyote]

contrary to rumors around the Internet, Apple has told Macworld that you can even do it yourself without voiding your warranty "unless you break something when you open it.")

Looks like heresy to me just like every other statement out there. When I said that I want an official statement I mean OFFICIAL. From Apple on Apple.com.

And people accuse mac fans of being the religiously fanatical ones.

G5 Teleportation Device!!

[lullabud]

I saw that Register article about the G5 powerbook and thought "Wow! What if they are planning one??" I checked out Apple's page and the article was right, they fixed the "typo" and now it says G4... But what if there was actually a .gif file on their server that was keeping track of G5 hits...

http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g5_powerbook

That says that there IS a G5 powerbook hit-tracking file on the server!! G5 powerbooks are on the way!! Woohoo!!! After I regained consciousness and began to float back down from cloud 9 I thought "Wow! Apple is so awesome and so secret I bet they could even be working on a teleportation device and nobody would know!!"

http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_teleportation _device

Sure enough, if getting a 1x1 .gif is proof, they ARE working on a teleportation device!! This is FANTASTIC!! I can't wait for Macworld 2006!!

"contrary to rumors around the Internet, Apple has told Macworld that you can even do it yourself without voiding your warranty "unless you break something when you open it.")

So contrary to rumors on the Internet, rumors on the Internet state that the rumors on the Internet are not true?

Re:Apple is hiring thermal engineers.

[CausticPuppy]

And if we see job postings for cryogenics engineers, we can assume that the G6 powermacs are being designed.

In other news, GM coming out with 2006 models

[Animats]

There's also a rumor that General Motors will be coming out with new models later this year.

Re:Apple is hiring thermal engineers.

[Seehund]

I mean if it should happen to overheat, and cause the user to catch on fire,

A burning Mac user? Is that what you native English speaking people are referring to when you say "flaming homosexual"?

;)

I saw the words "G5 Powerbook"

[duffbeer703]

Written in mold on the inside of an english muffin.

Surely this is a sign.

Re:Already gone...

[Tony Hoyle]

Wow that's small.. I could put a few thousand of those on my little finger?

But does it come with optical out?

Re:Apple is hiring thermal engineers.

[coopaq]

Oh, they've also posted ads on their own job site (jobs.apple.com)

jobs.apple.com? That Steve is such an ego maniac.

You don't pay Microsoft at bill.microsoft.com.

And you don't get into the place through gates.micosoft.com

Re:Apple is hiring thermal engineers.

[Zork the Almighty]

Either that or Steve Jobs is dying.

Re:Slashdot has always posted rumors

[conteXXt]

you must be new.

since you're new here are the de-facto rules:

1. Never talk bad about Apple.
2. Microsoft is bad (expound exponentially on this point)
3. ????

4. profit.(from old Korean hot grit Natalie Portman soviet russia, welcoming our new (#3) overlords, all you base, and I am sure that I'll be reminded of what I missed.)
