iPod Video Photo - a Fake

Peace said:
(snippet)





FWIW..I bought an Enya Video from the iTunes store the first day they started selling music videos and it was wide-screen.

Apple has been selling wide-screen since the beginning of selling videos.

Yeah, some Music Videos are shot in Widescreen and some are shot in Fullscreen. It has nothing to do with iTunes. If they are Widescreen on TV, they would be on iTMS also.

Not to fuel this humerous charade but...

The reference to "24"

I got B***hed at once by a member but who cares..

The TV show 24 has been showing a LOT.I mean a LOT of iMacs and PowerBooks in the new season fwiw..

It's called product placement advertising...

We can see 24 on iTunes Tuesday..
Mark my words..



or i'm wrong :)

I sure hope you're wrong. that show is garbage.
 
Just a thing I noticed...why are some of the clips titled in English and some in (presumably) Dutch? Not that is discredits anything, but I think we can safely say that there was a third man (person if you will). I'm leaning towards that Grassy Knoll pic someone postecd yesterday, but we'll never know since Ruby shot LHO. Oh well, se la vie, Tomorrow will be kickin.
 
Good grief, people...

CAN WE PLEASE AT LEAST GLANCE THROUGH THE THREAD BEFORE POSTING THE SAME OBSERVATIONS THAT OTHER PEOPLE MADE 36 HOURS AGO?!

Thank you.

This isn't directed at any specific person, just people in general. Take a little responsibility, OK? What do you think we've been discussing for the last 14 pages?

One difference I don't get is why the handwritten "This side (up)" characters, in both the original photo and the video, not only don't match each other but also don't match the ones supposedly generated by the web translator in the video. If you look at them closely, you'll see that there are small differences. Would someone who needed a web translator be able to create characters that were close enough that people would understand them (as some did several days ago), without knowing what they were intended to mean?

I don't understand this either. I can't think of a reason why this Dutch guy didn't follow the characters from the web translator exactly to make it more believable... But the 800x600 picture that Dutch guy posted later totally got me... Things are so confusing... I will wait to see what really happens in 12 hours.
 
The spy shots just don't stop coming! I gotta stop searching around the interweb for them. They make me cry because my gut tells me that the announcement tomorrow won't include any new iPods.

The photo is a fake, and the video is a fake of G4 making the fake picture . . .

Apple will not release a new iPod tomorrow, if they did it they would have a more interesting title than "cool new products" on their invites, perhaps something aluding to a new iPod. And they would have it at a better venue, not Cupertino.

Now THAT'S some bad cloning :)

If G4 TV is yet another source claiming to have made the video that's great--but the video doesn't even show HOW the original photo was made, much less showing the original photo BEING made. (Specifically, to repeat what has been mentioned several times, the video shows color bars being put on the image in a way that makes no sense for the original shot.) So I'm skeptical of anyone claiming to have made BOTH the original AND the video.
 
I've been informed that the G4 video was uploaded by crackers, and that if you look closely, you can see that the presenters are actually audioanimatrons of the real hosts. Now, ask yourself who builds audioanimatrons, and who would have recently gained access to that technology, and who would have a vested interest in sowing confusion about what is to be announced tomorrow! :eek:

(for the hardcore conspiracy theorists, yes, I made up this one.)

Bah, it looks like I'll be on the road when the little announcement thingy happens.

But the important thing is, I tried lol :)

It's definitely a vast right/left wing conspiracy. G4, working under the directive of the Turtle-Necked One, made the fake picture and the video, to gauge interest in the product, which really does exist in a bunker deep under Cupertino alongside the iWalk PDA and a Yeti. When he deems the world ready, Jobs will unleash all three upon us.

Anyway, I wonder who at AOTS knows Dutch?

He still claims it was him who created the initial photograph and it was him who created the movie afterwards to prove how he did it.

Ja, dé foto en filmpje zijn allebij door mij gemaakt. (heb de PSD file's. dus....)
Het filmpje is in scene gezet om te laten zien hoe het gegedaan is.
Daarom zit er verschil in handschrift e.d.

translation: Yes, the photo and the movie were both made by me. (I have the PSD files. so...). The movie is staged to demonstrate how it has been done. That is why there are differences in handwriting and such.

It helps keep Bill Gates away from the area (he hates yetis).

"Impossibly Big"

Yeah, I'm thinking G4 is just yanking our collective chain. The video looks like it was done on a Mac while the G4 video shows a PC. I still go with the Dutch guy as the likely source of both.

That's nice but I'm almost certain the G4 TV employees don't speak or read Dutch :) So I'm possitive the G4-making-of-the-fake-video is totally faked :)

Obviously they were just having fun with this over there. Their fake video was so poorly done it doesn't even merit any more discussion here. Come on, they did it on a Windows PC and instead of using tape on the plug, they used a big hunk of cardboard. Amateurs!

Just a couple of hours until we know what the real "fun" products are!

Noted. Also noted: making claims is easy :)
 
It's REAL!

I think Steve Jobs' not announcing the video iPod at the product announcement today was just to try and confuse the rumors sites -- sneaky!

The video was created by Apple to try and discredit the photo and the non-announcement was done to try and add legitimacy to the video.

YOUR PLAN WON'T WORK JOBS, WE KNOW BETTER!

Just copy the link to the movie that you have quoted and past it into a Safari's Downloads window. Window>Downloads It will also work in FF.

Or, just option+click on the link.
 
WAIT WAIT WAIT

Were the rumors of the new video iPod based solely on this fake photo? Or were the rumors started before, and the photo came later?
If so, does this mean there could still be a new iPod coming out, or is the whole thing gone, and my dreams are crushed?
