i just cruised through timecanada's source code and came up with nil. if Jobs was going to make a fake site or plant a fake article i think he would make some way to figure it out. He seems to like mind games.
Got a tip for us?

MacMinute claims new iMac on TIME cover

hey guys when you run whois for both Time.com and Timecanada.com, you get two different host servers, not even remotely related. If it is truly the same corporation they would usually outsource their stuff to the same serving entity. http://www.TIMECANADA.COM is served by AOL. This reeks of a hoax.

What hook?
I kept seeing this mention of a hook finally I had to take another look at the pic's.
Look at both photos again (Jobs and Ivey and Time's cover) The monitor arm is chrome. Chrome reflects light in interesting ways, the center of the arm is dark in this particular photo. There is no hook and the monitor cableing runs through this arm. Simple.

Does AOL-TimeWarner mean anything to you?
Of course there's two different host servers, they are different domains and one server could be in Thailand for all we know.

Wow...
you guys just don't want to believe anything do you?
1) MacMinute has the paper copy of Time in their hands.... as does CNet.
2) http://www.time.com/time/asia <- Go to the bottom "Time Editions" - Link to Time Canada from there.

I've got Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to keep me company. Wow, if I could've seen myself listening to the Rat Pack 5 years ago I'd have laughed my ass off. I guess my grandpa was right, that music has a certain something. Anyway Organic Chemistry doesent come until 1:30 tomorrow, so I'm in it for the duration.

You go right ahead with that idea... Just think about how damn ZIPPY a computer would be with an Airport system bus! Okay starting from the beginning:
-A processor is needed to *drive* the Airport card in the iPad
-Airport isn't fast enough to handle the processor, let alone the processor, hard drive, RAM, etc, blah
-Technology to *make* Airport fast enough to do these things would REVOLUTIONIZE the wireless world... It's the IEEE 802.11b Wireless standard, understand, and there has been no signifigant speed increase in that standard since it was created
-such a device, if it *was* physically possible, would cost many many thousands of dollars... Forget breaking the Cube cost, it would break the original TAM cost!
Sorry if this sounds snippy, I dont mean it to be, but I'm watching Duckman and inhaling caffeine to stay awake till the keynote... no way in hell i'm waking up that early 😉
And I feel a little screwed, I guess, by the fact that I have a spoiler of the announcement... I've been trying to figure this out for weeks, but i guess i didnt really want to know! Jobs always does such a good job dazzling people, it's nice to be under his power when seeing a new product 😉 I hope there'll be many many more surprises tomorrow (and if it's an iWalk i'm slitting my wrists), cause as much as I love the new iMac, it doesn't live up to the hype so far...

Re: I think its a hoax!
i agree! with the exception of the pics of steve with it...
a couple oddities...
1) timecanada has no meta tags... what professional web site has no meta tags?
2) Time seems to use a piece of software called "Vignette StoryServer 5.0" on time.com, timeasia.com, timepacific.com, and timeeurope.com. timecanada seems to have no database tied in... you simply can't run a site of that magnitude without database sw...
3) time.com, timeasia.com, timepacific.com, and timeeurope.com all have ip's in the 205.188.238.* block, while timecanada is at 64.12.182.246
4) speaking of IPs... if you go to 64.12.182.245, you're at AOL Brazil... seems kind of odd
5) as far as whois records go... timecanada is the only time site using AOL nameservers

I still don't believe
I still don't believe it. Elvis must have hacked into the site and changed something. Everybody knows that there is no such thing as Asia anyway.

With technology the way it is, eventually all the electronics will be so small that a computer(mac) wont need much of a case to hold all the inside parts. This is were apple is heading with the consumer line. I think the next overhaul of the iMac will look completely like a consumer product and nothing like a computer. The price unfortunatly is right for all the stuff it has inside. Apple did all it could to keep costs down, I mean, all the work put into this kind of technology which PC companies do not even try is not cheap. You will never be able to build your own egg timer iMac. I think that after 2 speedbumps, if there is no big thing is software that will require supercomputer chips, the speeds of the iMac will be fast enough to handle any kind of work for many years to come. When all PC's get to that point, people will want smarter, easier, and cooler computers and Apple is waaaaaay ahead of everyone else on that front. Once speed is no longer an issue, I think Apple will grow marketshare.
The only problem I see with the design is that it does not look like it has speaker on the base, so it better come with some bose speakers or something and a wireless keyboard. Even at that price, I think anyone that has never bought a PCI card can upgrade their system and be happy with what they get. All I know for sure is that I wont overlook an iMac when I go to buy my new Mac. With the tower prices raising like they are, there is no need for me to buy another tower.
If Apple were smart, they should sell the iMac with no monitor after a while, forget that whole make the computer part of you lifestyle nonsense and give the average joe what he wants, a cheap PC. Even with all that said, I think I am looking at my next Mac, I know my desk will be much happier.

SITE changed.
How boring.
"The show starts at 9am pacific."
Watch the live webcast in quicktime.
Letdown, where's the snappy stuff?

i think that capture of the OS X desktop is photoshopped. there are no icons on the desktop and the icon in the dock where the trash is supposed to be looks nothing like the X trash icon
You can see Apples new main page now.

This doesn't add up to me, and yet inside I know that this is real. I betcha time canada didn't expect us to be out here scouring the web on sunday night looking for clues. This seems fake because of the site, the lack of a working link from time.com, and the ip addresses, and yet it looked real enough. The .jpg did have some errors surrounding the people and iMac in the article, but that could be just ****** compression. I'm not gonna be able to sleep!!

Re: ****Ok I'm clearly the only person
That would just be dumb. Why would Apple waste a wireless connection, when the screen is only about 1' away from the base?
I think you are missing something very obvious... The wire is there, it just runs down the chrome pipe the holds up the LCD.
I like it. If deffinitly differernt. And I think it will grow on people once they get over the innial 'WTF is that?!' shock.
From the look of it. It would probably take up even less space on you desk than an ordinary LCD, let alone a big CRT. Since the screen floats infront of the computer, you can push the base right to the back, and move the LCD out of the way easly when needed to aswell.
You know you've designed something good when half the people say it's the ugliest thing they've ever seen, and half say it absolutly brilliant. Good/new designs are always contrivercial.
Still. I was hoping for a newton the size of a Vx. Maybe there are still a few more suppises to come.
Hell, the might have even let Times run the artical. So everyone thinks that the cat is out of the bag, when really, the big thing is still to come... Well.. maybe anyway.
