Leopard sooner than we thought?

[applemax]

Wrong font, wavy lines, bad image, not Apple.

[liketom]

i call fake , that cat looks too scary

[Lacero]

The leopard looks too angry.

Heh... and scary too...

[mad jew]

Pretty much a unanimous "fake" then. So, where's it from applemax? :)

[applemax]

i dont really know. some weird guy emailed it to me from this site. http://macfannet.mycom.co.jp/


I didnt think it was real either, but i thought you'd like a look anyhow

[MacDawg]

Have to agree with "fake"
Too much anger

I think Apple would be more subtle

Have any of the other Apple incarnations shown a face?

In any case, we all expected there would be a Leopard preview at WWDC 2006, so it's not exactly a scoop.

[Lacero]

The headline is wrong too.

"A Leopard never changes its spots"... but leopards do. I think.

[Darwin]

I think its a fake,

the leopard doesn't look right for an Apple event

[GorillaPaws]

When I clicked for a full sized pic I almost jumped out of my seat. Holy bejesus that's one mean cat. Not Apple. Maybe Rob Zombie's Halloween invite, but definetly not Apple's WWDC.

The headline is wrong too.

"A Leopard never changes its spots"... but leopards do. I think.

From Travel Adventures for Kids (http://www.realtraveladventures.com/KidsOnTheGo/can_a_leopard_really_change_his_spots__.htm):

"No, leopards can't change their spots but every leopard has a distinct spot-pattern the way that fingerprints identify individual people. Scientists say that a leopard's face spots are almost as distinctive as human facial features. Some leopards called black panthers are almost all black but you can still see their spots."

It has to be correct, who would lie to children? :rolleyes:

[JDOG_]

Terrible fake. My dad could have made that in MS Paint.

[vouder17]

nice claws:rolleyes:

[tech4all]

While the leopard may not be "Apple-like", it's still a cool image of a leopard.

And with the headline, not sure if it's true or not, but it doesn't totally makes sense to me nor apply to OS X. Maybe it's changing it's "spots" by being able to run on Intel....?

[doucy2]

i highly doubt they put a leapoard on the advertisment
look and see how many Jaguars, Panthers & Tigers you find on apple adds

its just not apple's style

fake fake

[xsedrinam]

If the release timeline proves to be true (late '06 early '07), the head to head of Leopard vs. Long"delay"horn should be fun to watch.

[Lacero]

Also, I don't believe Apple ever uses negative words like 'never' in their advertising campaign. I believe using negative words is a no-no in marketing. That's what they taught at school anyway.

Anywho, I think we've shot this photo to bits. :p

[ksz]

It's not an advertising campaign, though. It's an invitation to WWDC 2006. But with an image that ferocious, who would want to attend?

[Daveway]

I would find it disturbing if Apple were to wait that long to show it off.
