for conspiracy theorists: maybe the account owner sent it to Arn, and he's helping conceal the source's role. The missing iSight, btw, is on the grassy knoll.
They are going back to Tiger, Leopard had too many bugs so they are shipping Tiger 11.4.12 on all new systems.
See this image:
iTunes login/password blurred out. That was/is a valid something@apple.com account on iTunes.
The person who submitted the URL was not the author, but found it.

Yeah, those bastards....
It is always interesting to see how passionate and defensive people become over stories like this.

I agree. Even though I believe these are fake, I am not blaming or dissing MacRumors at all for posting this. These are the types of rumors I enjoy reading about and discussing, and in my mind arn and crew are just doing their job. Let's not become too critical of the site...
You can't photoshop a valid iTunes account with an Apple.com email address.
Please provide me with a valid login name something@apple.com and password for the iTunes Store. If you can, I will agree with you.

I don't think any of us are saying it's MR's problem, we just think these images are fake. I support MR, and if we didn't have rumors like this one, MR wouldn't exist.
Uhhh... That's what I was saying.
See the post above yours, for further clarification
The information on the website is not just a picture but verifiable information (text)
From the article
Or better explained:
How many times do I have to say it?
It lists a live, active iTunes account and password. I consider posting someone's username and password to be poor form.

Don't all Apple retail employees get @apple.com e-mail addresses?
Who is to say this wasn't a simple retail employee who made some mock ups and happens to have a ton of money in iTunes credit?

All of these new touch devices are going to create a whole new breed of repetitive strain syndromes... They're going to baffle doctors and physiotherapists. On a level similar to the problems those supercool sunglasses caused in The Jerk.
Oh and Arn, I think I'd hold off on purchasing that bidet if I were you...

Agree.. fake.
I completely agree that the "tiger" desktop gives it away to being fake. I have friends that work for apple retail and they have an "apple" email. In fact everyone that works for apple even the small guys have apple emails. Zoom in on the images tell me if you think photoshop was used

Um, no, "Aluminium" is indeed a correct spelling of the element in question. It's not a made up alloy or anything else. Did you perhaps incorrectly think that "Aluminum" is the only accepted spelling of the element? If so, consider yourself having learned something today.
You beat me to this response!
As a .Mac user myself, the most disturbing part about this whole debacle is the idea that "some guy" was able to access .Mac pages of other users that not only display their stuff but also conveniently list their password, iTunes balance, and other personal information.
If that is even possible, then .Mac has a rather serious security problem no? And isn't that more of a page 1 story as opposed to the page 2 story that this "leak" is?
It makes me think the whole story about "finding" these pages is bogus or some kind of cover story.
Totally fake, but since every body* seems to be making quite the same kind of mock ups, I think there's something to it. The upcoming laptops are probably going to be all aluminium with new keyboards and led displays. And they are going to look sleeker than the current ones, probably bit like MBA.
