Well said. Many people like to use the Mercedes analogy. I don't know much about Mercedes (my next car is going to be a Smart Car, or a Toyota Echo Hatchback 😀), but doesn't even Mercedes have a low end version that the car snobs can look down on and say, "Well, it's only a <insert low-end model name here> Mercedes", but that someone who actually owns one feels proud because they own a Mercedes?

(snip)


couldn't agree more on your comments

food for your analogy: 50 years ago mercedes only built luxus class cars ..... there weren't any C-series or even E-series... now: they are building the A-series ..are one of the biggest _truck_ manufacturer in europe... they are even produce business (mini)vans ... and since 25 years offroad cars ...and of course smart is actually a mercedes daughter company .... 😉

audi, bmw all three started with sportscars and luxus vehicles and now all of them are introducing smaller and smaller cars...
 
iMac G5

Hi there,

I can confirm that there will be a new G5 iMac lineup announced in Paris next week (saw one today). Expect major changes. Good times ahead!

Blabber 😉

Ha-ha. I'm not close to any "source", and can confidently make the same bold and meaningless statement. Where is the evidence? 🙄
 
If these photos are true (and I don't think they are) then Apple should jettison Ives and hire the person who created the following for all their future case design work:

Nice!

yeah, that is nice, but there's no room for a built in drive. didn't someone say there wasn't going to be a drive?

There is a drive--it's under the display and the bulge on lower back accomodates the required drive depth as well as acting as a stand. Very clever.

I actually kinda like that design 😉

are you totally deranged? 😱 ives is a BRILLIANT man who is well respected by the tech community and the design community. he has won numerous awards for his simple, yet elegant work. that's the trick with Jonathon... it always looks natural to us when we see it. sure... no computer has ever looked like _____ (fill in Ives masterpiece here) but looking at it you can't help but wonder why didn't someone think of this before?

simple and elegant.

not just putzing around with photoshop mock-ups that don't have to contend with real world issues like heat, internal configuration, and those other pesky industrial design quanries...

Way off topic, but I agree that the Mercedes C class series is now
sadly not much more than an overpriced Dodge with a trendy Mercedes
logo.
The E class is also having many reliability problems that you would never expect in anything so expensive.

It seems that the most trouble free cars are now the rice burners, as long
as you're careful to purchase one that was actually built IN JAPAN.

Sources confirm new Apple products next week




By Kasper Jade

Published: 05:00 PM EST

Apple Computer is quietly preparing to launch new products next week as it prepares for a major presence at the Apple Expo Paris.

AppleInsider has confirmed through multiple reliable sources that Apple is preparing to unveil new products early next week. The introductions are expected to begin appearing on the company's website as early as Monday evening.

While sources did not provide specifics of the announcements, it's widely expected that Apple will finally introduce its all-new G5 iMac, which has been delayed since late June.

Sources close to the computer maker told AppleInsider last week that the new iMac was complete and awaiting introduction. In addition to previously published descriptions of the new all-in-one desktop, tipsters added that the iMac G5 would sport an aluminum and chrome motif; a scheme consistent with the majority of the company's current hardware offerings.

Apple will reportedly incur significant air-freight charges to fly the new iMacs from manufacturing plants in Asia over to Europe and the United States, in an attempt to flood its retail channels.

So far, there has been no indication of when Apple will begin shipping the iMacs, though sources expect demand to greatly exceed the initial supply of units due to ongoing production issues associated with IBM's PowerPC 970 fx G5 processor. Customers who have their hearts set on an iMac G5 are urged to place orders as soon as the company allows them to do so.

Recent information has also suggested that Apple may be planning to introduce additional products during the Paris expo, but has reportedly engrossed itself and its Europe division in secrecy. Many employees scheduled to be on hand for the expo admittedly remain in the dark this week as to the company's official plans.

Apple made an unorthodox announcement of the new iMac in June and later confirmed that the computer would be based on a G5 processor from IBM. Official statements from the company have indicated that the new models should begin shipping in September.


The iMac G5 pictured above IS very eye pleasing for an AIO,
the more you look at it.
Let's all hope what we see on the 31st is something at least this good.

Just ignore these trolls. Anyone who actually knows something knows how to leak it and protect themselves. These others are trolls and time wasters.
