Is this It (Photo)?

I think the thing looks bad ass...

would apple legal get on my case if I made a touch up of this and posted it? I am not sure how they work, but I am a kid at Virginia Tech and like playing with photoshop but don't want to get any letters from apple...any ideas?

Where are you quoting these prices from?
 
I am completely scoobied by the people who reject this *speculated* box merely based upon its looks!

At this point, with Macintoshes so comparatively slow, WHO GIVES A FLYING **** WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, AS LONG AS IT PERFORMS LIKE A ROCKET?!?!

Wrong. Grab a newspaper and scan an image at twice the size in inches not dpi and you'll see the dots. That's the reason you see the dots, because this printed image has been blown up, otherwise the dots are barely noticeable. And your wrinkle theory is incorrect, they are not deep enough to sway the dots, scanners are notorious for picking up the slightest less then perfectly flat imperfections.

I'm sorry, what wringle theory did I mention? the halftone pattern is from a lpi less 133. newspaper quality. i can't believe apple is mocking up newspaper ads with their new hardware in full halftone glory

and it's still on my site so, I'm assuming apple legal isn't shutting down anyone.
 
Appleinsider

Since last posts on pages somtimes get missed, check out the "Artist Rendition" at AppleInsider:

It's the same photo.

p.s., arn--if this violates your "don't post the pic" request, I apologize. I figured it wasn't the same photo and wasn't on your server.

Can anyone comment on that Spymac gallery image? Is it real or not?

No, actually, that was exactly what the Xtrem Mac "gigantic art-deco microphone" case design looked like (see several posts back). In fact, I think the artist/poster used Xtrem's actual design mockup for that illustration, just for the amusement of those of us here who remember it... :D

yup, as featured on macosrumors
 
just to echo someone else...

When I saw that mockup, I *instantly* thought: World Trade Center.

It might just be because I live in NYC, but if they are metal, as rumored, that'll only make it worse.

Whether it's real or not, I have no idea. But evoking the towers is bad, and I hope whatever it looks like, it doesn't do that.

Maybe Ives is becoming a real artist, not just a fancy designer:confused:
 
If they're going for workstations, Apple should steal a page from SGI's book. Totally square, dead heavy steel inside case, with a "purely for looks" outside plastic shell. Make it rounded and toaster looking, like the O2, but wicked fast inside.
 
I could be wrong, but I would say that the fact that an image appearing on AppleInsider as an "Artist Rendition" that is then modified qualifies as a fake. Compare the two side by side. The fake clearly comes from the "Artist Rendition".

I believe this issue is settled.

Remember Thinksecret's "artist's rendition?" ;)

The story associated with the "rendition" mentions the iPod mockup from Thinksecret....

Just maybe... :cool:
 
Re: New macs

OK, I just confirmed today that there are new macs. We configure them with Audio workstations, and sell hundreds a year.
The new machines are:
Powerbook Al 15
Dual 1.6
Dual 1.8
Dual 2.0
Not confirmed if it's G5, but as far as I know the G4 is maxed out at 1.42, and can't go further, but I may be mistaken. We do this for a living and need to know what is coming out, so our vendors always give us a heads up.
BAM!
Click to expand...

Heck, those would be nice even if they were still G4!
 
if this is close to a real design, i hope someone comes out with a case mod for it - ya it looks mean - but it looks like a pc. at least it still has handles - and i understand the need for maximum air flow... but ewwwwwww.

I'm a bit confused.... I thought the artist rendition was of the "fake G5" photo.

It even has the mistaken translucent plastic(?) edge or cutoff background. lol

This is all getting very confusing. :p

Yeah I just realized that a minute ago before i read your post, but you have to agree that it looks like an old air cinditioning system in that other picture!:p

Some people just don't get it.

First, it's OBVIOUSLY not beige. It's probably a very clean looking, high quality brushed aluminum.

Everybody who was saying "make it beige and add two floppies" and jokes about beige were joking ;) Nobody thinks it is beige, they were (mostly) simply commenting on it's boxy appearance and it's resemblence to computers gone by.

Yeah, you have a point, but they're not exactly the same thing. The Thinksecret Artist Rendition looked like a sketch of a real thing. The fact that it turned out to be accurate demonstrated that they had good info. However, the pic at AppleInsider is man-made--it looks it, and they say it is. The other pic is the exact same thing, at the exact same angle--it is a modified version of the first photo. Compare the two and tell me if you see it differently.

If not, modifying a man-made image doesn't make it real.

I don't mind the design. If it's 100% accurate, that would be okay with me, especially if there is a 970 inside. It is still a modified man-made image.

Those gratings on the front could prove to be massive air ducts for the new processor. If they are, the ppc 970 must be one hot motha!
