Leaked: ****** Info!

Ohh APPLe site down NOW!!!!

Ok the store says it is down.. either they jsut realized the mistake or they just found out that they are getting hacked.. I honestly think that this was a APPLe screw up!.. I am a web developer and if you use similar naming standards for your images becaue of style sheets and template it is possible for this image to be uploaded early... Bit mistake.. Sounds like we all know what were getting next week.
 
As incredible as these specs are, i'm going to be skeptical until an official announcement. it could be a wishful hacker. i don't remember any rumors about a 1 ghz bus. but if this is an apple mess up, and these are true specs...well then, im going to start saving now!
 
joke? cmon

It's not a joke. Get a grip. Crap like that will make stock go up. AND down when they find out that's a joke. You don't screw around with stuff like that.

Unless someone hacked the site (in which case I'd have put something on the front page and been more obvious) it's simply a web management error. Happens all the time. They're working on the website for next week so they can hit a button and make the switch. A gif just got saved to the wrong directory or something similar. Someone may get fired, sure.

They're not going to call it the 970. 2 weeks later they'll have to call it the 970b rev 2 if they keep with that kinda naming. Then folks will be in the store going... which is faster, the 970 tower or the G4 imac? They're clueless. The public could care less, and the G5 nomer means generation five. Especially with G3s in the lineup, they want to show the customer what they're paying for... (say like nigel from spinal tap) "it's the G5, it's like 2 higher than the G3."

I guess when OS 11 comes out they can have nigel say "these go to eleven."
 
"!" and not "?"

I like how, in 99.999.9.99.99 percent... er... yeah... of Macrumors news items, the titles end with a questoin mark (? for the literally challenged), and this one ends with an exclamation point! This truly is a great day!

I figure, like someone posted at ambrosiasw, that this was akamai's fault. They said that since Apple probably had to send them all the pics by now, it was probably them posting the pic by mistake, or a server error or something. Or a h4x0r.
 
Says the site is being updated now... is this part of some plane? Are they gonna reveal all shortly? Or is someone praying to god that they still have a job tomorrow? lol

Or were they hacked?
 
aww, somebody at apple figured out that it was up there. the store's being updated (11:00 pm).

very nice specs. too bad i already made up my mind to wait until the second rev next spring or summer (but i'll be glad when i don't have as many bugs to deal with as the leapers).
 
Correction ??

Well, the Apple Store is now down.....they are either repaing the hack....or correcting the "leak"

Hope it is real !!

Looks great.

Wow! 2GHz! They actually beat the rumour sites! Interesting about the up to 1GHz bus... I guess it means the FSB scales with the processor, as was suggested. Very cool. 😀 People are gonna be complaining about the lack of middle-duals, but screw 'em, this is awesome 😀
 
Holy. ****.

Pigs are flying right now.

To quote someone from Appleinsider:

I never want to see a cease and desist letter from them to any web site *ever* again.
Click to expand...

ahahahahahaha. 1Ghz bus! Hot damn. Bye-bye bottlenecks.

Cheers to all the Mac rumors sites out there. Even that French one... 😉
 
yeah, apple store is down...

whatever the case, i sure hope the spec is right. that's one heck of a lineup!
 
what!? the apple store is back up.. with the new specs still?

edit- oops, i hit refresh and it changed back to old again. weird, cleared my cache
 
3 pci slots???
what about the 4th
i need 4

i think this is a possible hack to hurt apple. Stock would die if this was not the case after this leak.

i thought they added the 4th for us audio guys.

also, the pci or pci-x... this means they have 2 mother boards... for cost? but then wouldn't they also cut the sata on the lower... that is tons more expencive.
 
this is really weird.. wtf is happening?...i guess it's true...maybe their trying to disperse some of the rumors but still keep us guessin visually
 
it might be fake- the specs were a different font, without the shading than the specs for other machines. hack?
 
ok guys take a look

look at the apple icon on the apple stores "were gone" sticky note. The apple was BLUE, and the bars had a different shape/look. apple not grey, it was BLUE. it has never been that color before. Methinks that might indicate a new layout for the g5's
