Apple Event on Thursday May 18th, 2006?

I think it was mostly ignored, because the picture is from an animation that has been going around for some time and is assumed fake.

Not to mention, AFAIK the X1600 comes with a minimum of 128MB of memory and Apple no longer uses or sells media for the 2x SuperDrive.

The weirdest (and in my mind most phony part) would be the 1280x1024 display. That is a ratio of 5:4. That would be squarer than the old standard of 4:3 and nowhere close to the 16:10 widescreen ratio that Apple uses (in all display, the iMac and MBPs).

That answers my question. Thanks!

Alas, that fake video sure is pretty though... lol ;)
 
You know what I find absolutely hilarious about all these photoshop knockoffs??? Every single one of them shows the current latching system. Is it not one of the main rumors that there would be a magnetic latching system implemented for the MacBook???????

Plus what is it with everyone keeping the keyboard and trackpad white when they show a Red or Black MacBook? Apple's not one for mixing and matching colors in that fashion. Makes it look like a cheap piece of PC crap.

They all take you to the same page.

That would be one way to TEST it, without giving it ALL away, won't it :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Have to say it...

I really, really, REALLY, REALLY hope that it is released this week, I mean we have been waiting for this for like.........FOREVER!
 
oh wow appleinsider predicts another media event!?!?!

more ******** from them. They always have these stupid predictions just to get everyone hyped it. Here is there thinking:

"Apple has been pretty dull lately, nothing has come out. We need to draw more attention to ourselves and Apple. Lets just make up a date and say something will be announced, which we have no evidence nor do WE actually believe it."

"Special event" day comes and goes, nothing is announced

"Well there goes that, why not just play with the Mac fanboys mind a little. Lets make up a new date, get these people all excited again. Let them down again. We seem to really kickass at that."

You go AppleInsider, you keep up your random dates, hundreds already believe.

But hey, let them prove me wrong. It would make me happy.

I take this as a hint Apple is aware of graduation season and stuff. Store is not down by the way. :)
Either Thursdy or Friday will be interesting for new hardware.

If done by a store update, I wouldn't expect it to go down until 8.30 EST.
 
i now disagree with those who thought it was gonna be thursday...

thursday is not actualy a special event, it's not a day for new hardware. The hardware needs to be released before and then Apple will talk about it to the press
