Is this It (Photo)?

no chance

that is so not the new mac. i used to work on old ibm boxes that look just like that minus the bad photoshop job. be real, has any apple product released in the past two years looked that awful? see the new ipod...

think smarter.

:eek:

Hey, I want some of whatever you're smokin'!

By the way, the little blurry spot at the bottom of the photo is ...... (drum roll please) .... nothing at all. The photo is fake, and the blurry portion successfully got us all talking about it -- adds a bit of mystery and intrigue. "Why would something be blurred if it was a fake photo?" 'Cause the artist just got you to believe, sucker!
 
What the heck, might as well throw my $0.02 into the ring (with 400 + posts, not like anyone's gonna read this). I think this is ugly. And fake. But then again, I thought the pics last time were ugly and fake and sure enough, they were real.

I still think they're ugly.

Maybe there is a little truth in fiction. Maybe there are High-End Towers that look server like, and Low-End Towers that look more like the El Capitan. Or white like the e/iMacs and iBooks. Cheaper Towers would be nice.

Compare the two side by side. The fake clearly comes from the "Artist Rendition".

I'm reasonably certain the copying is in the other direction. The "Artist Rendition" is, to my eyes, an obvious redrawing of the wrinkled photo "fake" by someone who didn't clearly interpret the photo. It mistakes the cropped background for a transparent shell, it puts an odd feature in a not-quite-correct orientation in the blurred corner, and it totally loses the bottom handle that's visible in the photo's shadow.

The existence of the "Artist Rendition" by no means invalidates the "fake".

Oh, and whoever said the halftoning in the photo is too regularly horizontal is probably mistaking the artifacts in the pattern of scanned pixels for the actual halftoning in the alleged photo. The vaguely circular screen pattern visible in the picture most certainly does not line up perfectly across the image.
 
With so many "its fake, no its true, fake, true, fake, true!"im anxious for monday so I can see the end result and laugh of the excitement that this forums had.

I dont know if its fake or true, im no expert on that point, but nonetheless, it wouldnt surprise me if apple would come up with something like that(I remember the drawings of the new iPod that came out and a discussion started about the placement of the buttons and how that was so non-Apple and a step backward compared to the old iPods).
 
my prediction

...that's guaranteed to be wrong:

Mr. Jobs will annouce the 970 PowerMacs next week. He won't have one available to show, but instead will project on the back wall a 25' high image of the wrinkled, half-tone, blurred corner image that is the subject of this thread.

And it will turn out that the big innovation of the new PowerMacs is the "iCrumple" exterior finish, which looks exactly like paper that's been crumpled and stuffed down someone's pants.

I seriously wonder if new displays will have to come out with a new design... Any thoughts?

FWIW, mounting full-height PCI cards to the mobo "laid back" at a diagonal would allow for a narrower case and/or room to mount more bulky components on the underside of the mobo.

Looks like Superman has been snorting Red Kryponite again, or his tights are cutting off the Oxygen to his brain again. :(

[edit - the pics coming out of people's pants are starting to looks very scary]
