I heard that Cali Lewis (GeekBrief Video Podcast Fame) went to Cupertino last week, but wouldn't be able to talk about it until December 10th.

Seriously, I am not that lucky to have Apple debut a new MacPro on my birthday. Would be nice, but can't see it. If anything, watch it be an announcement for it, shipping January 1st. But still, I have prepared myself for MacWorld. Not lucky enough for anything Apple to come out on 12/10.
 
Oh please let this rumor be true.
After tax and new year I can´t afford it.
So the 10th would be great for me.
 
Suspect

Our distributer down under says the official word from Apple is that there will be no new products this quarter. Although in saying that they also say off the record that Apple has gone against there word on rare occaisions. I hope they do! :cool:
 
Two questions cross my mind:
1). How could he know that everyone would be extremely happy with the next macpro unless he had detailed info on its specs.
2). Why on earth would Apple have told someone in his position the detailed specs for an unreleased product? He would not need to know at this point.

Likely conclusion: your friend is making stuff up.

1) Have no idea, not banking on what he says.

2) Totally agree

Conclusion: you are prolly right.

If someone ever does have real news though and wanted to post it, I can see why they wouldn't though. Everyone picks apart everything someone says when they don't know anything themselves and makes the poster feel like crap. For instance this guy has told me this way before black friday and I never posted because of that reason.

How about just take everything as rumors and stop making posters who have been told stuff from people that MAY know something feel like crap.

Apple has no idea when your birthday is :p

I certainly don't blame you for posting what you heard. I should thank you for raising my eyebrow a little - as that may be the only physical workout I get today. :)

Hi all,
just a quickly note to say that I've heard that the 10th of December all MacPro lovers will be very happy.
I don't want to hurt your feelings if not true, but as I'm getting mad waiting for the update, and yesterday I've been informed about this, just wished to share the info.

If true, would be curious to know this before you from here, far away from the States...

THE BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF US!!!

right, and I'm cyndi lauuuuper...

just kidding though, and this is coming from the guy who's first post was about a mac employee telling my girl that the new mac pros would be coming out soon and be priced at $3349, aww man she fell for the oldest trick in the book!

Although people should chill on making a poster feel like crap, we are just trying to help and not being devious in any way, if I hear something I am going to post it and let people know, rumor or not...




watch it be $3349
 
no one cares about ur bday dude. apple dont care about ur birthday either.

theres a chance it might get released on the 10th, although they probably wont.
 
How does one completely anonymous person who's never really posted here before making a completely unsubstantiated, unprecedented guess constitute a "rumor"?

I call it a wild #@& guess, and most likely, a wrong one.
 
I can't really understand what the post means ... LAMO

If you're talking about my post, it means:

one random person making a guess shouldn't be called a "rumor".

Just think what would happen if MacRumors posted every single thing they heard without any discrimination. Oh, yeah, I forgot - that's what these forums are for! ;)

No no no no no. Guss you didn't get the memo.

When wild #@&"[ guess posts hit the four-page mark around here, they (un)officially become rumors.

:p


....I wonder what Multi is doing these days........

Dear Santa:
I have been very nice with my family and friends, I have made all my homework and I got superb results at school.
Now please bring me a great new MAC PRO!!!
 
Dear Satan, I've been very bad... I'll sell my soul for the next mac pro!
 
In wonder if this thread will last till the 10th . . . . . . ;)

great logic mate..

until you've posted at least 1500 times you're a complete liar EVERY time regardless of any other circumstances...

in fact steve jobs watches the post counts on here and shares the real truth with the +1500 club...

really..i promise...he told me so..

and before you go nuts saying i believe this guy...i dont but you really need to get over your protectiveness just because you've been around for longer...
 
So it's not really a smart idea to accept a NIB PowerMac 2.66GHZ as payment for services since a new one is right around the corner?

Can we assume that whatever the new PowerMac lineup is, the lowest end will be more powerful than the current 2.66GHZ config and cheaper as well?
