Funny how all you guys are concentrating on the Mac rumors splattered throughout that article...

I want to know about the appetizing waitresses in the black mini-skirts. 😀

Saving - not just for refurbs.

the old one will be sold for a few days still?

If and when new product is released, look for the remaining stock to be sold on Apple's site. Check out the bottom-left corner of the page, the big red "SAVE" tag. Your product may be labelled as "refurbished", of course.

Amelio: Hi! I'm Gi..
Medium: I've been expecting you. You want to know where Apple will be in 10 years time, yes?

Amelio: Sure! Just need to know how many beige boxes we'll be cranking out then. Heheh.
Medium: Mmmm.... none, actually. But don't sweat it..

Amelio: But... Apple will still be in business, riiight?
Medium: Sure, the Microsoft investment sure helped there.

Amelio: Eh? You do know I'm the A.P.P.L.E guy..
Medium: Shhhh! Workstations. 64bit RISC workstations. Using IBM processors. Running a Unix OS. That's where Apple's money's at... but my French is a little shaky. Them and music players. Oh, and a music store.

Amelio: Music...store..? Wait a minute, is there a hidden camera? You guys!! Heheh.
Medium: No, it's all the truth. That's what Steve Jobs will announce.

Amelio: STEVE JOBS?? What's going to happen to Gil Amelio???
Medium:... Sorry, who the hell is Gil Amelio...?

<fade to black>

Seriously, I can't imagine what ANY Mac user from 10 years ago would have thought of Apple's upcoming product being a 64bit RISC Unix workstation. How the times have changed... 🙂

I think people are too distracted by the writing style.

I feel much of the info in this article is likely real. We'll see though...
