yeh i noticed that. but the buttons had the same labels, not the older tags.
 
Store seems to be back up, and the G5 info is still there. I dont think Im going to make it to bed tonight with something like this unfolding though. Cant wait to see some prices.
 
I called the apple store... went like this

Hi, i was looking at the powermacs online at the apple store. you know, the towers... I saw that you have high speeds listed than you have for sale, and id like to purchase one of the faster ones. They are listed at up to dual 2.0 ghz...

she said

All i can say now is that apple does not comment.

So they are not for sale?

All i can say now is that apple does not comment.


ok... thanks



hahahahaha... oh that sucks
 
I feel SO BAD for Apple.
Yeah. That's right.
Having worked for Apple for almost two years, I understand the horrible horrible pressure these sites put on Apple...and how awful something like this is to their "big surprise".

...like a kid opening presents on Christmas Eve...

...but these stats are much much better than I expected, and my credit card's just waiting for the "green light" 😀

The reason it is still there is because the image you viewed looks the same to the cache of the computer...

IT IS NOT STILL UP!

i just checked on my g/fs comp... it is not up on hers but it still says it on mine...

IT IS A CACHE ISSUE!

While some people may be having a cache issue, the store has gone up and down. They appeared to have fixed the mistake, but the graphic didn't look to good. Almost like they had to make it on the fly or they got the sizing wrong in the code. I'm sure that they are just trying to fix it a little better now. Actually, the store is back with the same bad graphic. Who knows what they are trying to do. Maybe there was another leak?
 
😛

What fun, Apple handed that one to the Rumor community on a silver platter.

And they quickly changed the graphic on the server. 😉

But not before hundreds of people downloaded the pic.

Now that leaves the shape of the PowerMac box, and the guts of the PowerBook to talk about. 🙂

They did that earlier this evening.
 
I bought stock yesterday

I bought stock yesterday. Yeee ha!

Hope this will surge some interest pre monday.
 
Heres what comes on monday

We get sweet new towers, with new displays, and we get new powerbooks soon too, and i bet they are G5 as well. How do I know all of this? well I checked out the special deals section. last week I could buy ANYTHING for cheap (even 12" or a 17"). Every tower, every display, every computer, except for the xserve. Now its down to a 17" imac, ipod, an airport station, and that 23" LCD. So let think here. Why would apple put everything on sale RIGHT BEFORE a bigtime event? Hm, lets think...uhhh...hm...drawing blanks....oh right, new machines all over the place. I'll be happy to buy my PB G5 when it appears, and if (for some odd reason) it never does come, shoot , i'll buy a nice tower instead. Cheers to all, were back on top.
 
Could it have been a hack? _Notice that the bulleting is different in the "supposed" G5 specs. _Apple doesn't use a "-" on any other page, or the g4 specs.
 
This is a cheap attemp for publicity just like the whole iMac on time magazine, I have been around too long to know Apple doesn't do anything on accident. If that was a accident he would have sued Time I bet.


This came from a Spymac Poster :

Fake... definitely a hack. The picture wasn't even changed, or the model chooser halfway down the page wasn't either....It still said single 1Ghz, dual 1.25, and dual 1.42Ghz... 8GB RAM...cmon. You guys are so gullible. Obviously a hack.

Oh ya, It just said G5. No mention of a 970 at all.

And... if it wasn't a hoax why would Apple pull it down so quick. Do you really think that they have that loose of control over their main servers, that a slip like that could just happen by mistake??? I think not.... If it was legit, it would still be up. Apple doesn't make mistakes like this.

In any case, I'm all for the 970 and stuff, but this just reeks of hack.
 
Well, as of now, the 'fugly' G4 specs image has been fixed.

I don't think this is a hack. Accidents like this are all too common in all walks of code, and if it wasn't tested right, that's what happens when you've been looking at two different pages with the same layout.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but Arn's posting of this info and certain other things make me wonder how much more he knows that he just can't tell 😉

Uh, that was part of the problem, I think: the file names were the same for both gifs-- I checked.

Hot damn!

The 2Gigs won't be available Monday, will they? The top of the line units are usually stalled a month of so...

This explains why the boxes shipped so early-- it's gonna be pandemonium when they're out of stock...

Geek drool...

I do kinda have that "saw the presents in the attic" kinda feeling now though...
 
::crosses Fingers:: Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please Please I REALLY hope that is is real, it would be such a dissapointment to have this faked 🙁 guess we are gunna have to wait it out...again...Hmm maybe mondays CAN be good 😉

8 GB of RAM is not that unreasonable. And so what if it doesn't mention the 970? How often is the G4 referred to as the 75xx? As said earlier, it was probably an employee who will soon be fired.
 
Uhmmmm

Yeah they do...just look at the front page with Quark on it...it's got the " - " as a bullet, as does on the top of the Apple Store for Quark.
