I don't know about that one.
Corporations are the same as Governments.
They say one thing and do another.
Has nothing to do with what they say, it has to do with the culture. Anybody who knows Apple culture realizes they really do not want any leaks. This has been discussed several times on this board in the past.
Sushi!
eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww sushiiiiiiii
Please release it already. So I can stop checking MacRumors every 10 minutes and get back to my life. Just a few more weeks of all-over-the-place rumors until we see who is correct and reigns supreme of insider information!!!

No need to apologize! I didn't know this until today. When I saw how the other person I spelled it, I wondered if it was correct. Surprisingly, that person was correct and I have been using the wrong word all of these years!
'checked in at', oh, you mean 'was'
What do you mean by 'checked in at'? Do you mean 'was'? Is 'checked in at' slang for 'was'? It's confusing when you write that. It reminds me of when you write 'weighs in at' instead of 'is' I'm just saying.

Unfortunately a lot of people here have just arrived off the boat and think since apple is big and rich that they must be evil. Microsoft got to where it was by manipulating and coercing its pc makers. Apple got big by charging healthy prices (not mad crazy prices) for popular items.
What Steve brought with him when he came back was:
1: Next OS (now Mac OS X)
2: The brilliant Next team (including Scott Forstall)
3: Unrivaled inventory management (original iMac had 5 days of inventory)
4: Very good quality control (no major recall on anything in the last decade)
5: Very short list of products (pro desktop, consumer desktop, one laptop, your choice is only small medium or large, One iPhone. Have you ever counted how many kinds of SONY VIAOs there are, dozens?)
6: Lastly, no leaks. That causes so much buzz that advertising is hardly necessary.
I never felt Apple did anything for profit first. I always felt that the products they invented were for themselves first and for customers second. Which always worked out well because they want cool toys and so do I
No, I think you are correct. Baloney did mean bogus like the bogus meat that Bologna is. The spelling just evolved because nobody knew how to spell it.
I bet the first time that someone wrote "That's baloney" that they spelled it the original way, "That's bologna"

Supposedly, he did crop it so he could have cropped it centered like that. Makes sense I guess. No?

Nice reply, very thoughtful. Thanks, I'll chew on it for a while.
Like your name too.
This is the reflection from the bowl straightened out and darkened to show more detail, my guess is that the bottom left corner is the hands of a person holding an iPhone taking the photo. All other objects don't have hands attached and are probably other things on the table or in the room. Still none the wiser, really!
What makes you think that you know better? If (and i say that bias-free) Apple would use controlled leaks that would only work (psychologically) if they also have this reputation of massive secrecy. A culture of secrecy and controlled leaks are far from being mutually exclusive, in fact, they are even mutually dependent to a certain extent.
And no matter whether such leaks are intentional or not - it is a brilliant example of viral marketing at its best!
and all the shills are here, i took the photo and uploaded to the net, who knows what took the photo, one thing for sure is stay away from radio active sushi
I'd like to disagree in so far as it really is wild speculation to determine actually which device the person is holding. It could well be a normal photocamera, with Exif's spoofed, to play a joke on people waiting for the iPhone 5 without risking one's job...
For example from looking at the fingers on the right in that picture holding the device (so it's actually the left hand of that guy) - they seem to be quite parallel to each other, which also makes for a lengthy gap (bright area between them). When i hold my iPhone the way that guy does, i don't even come close to have my thumb and index-/middlefinger aligned that parallel - with a Point-and-Shoot-Cam i could imagine getting there. Of course my fingers may simply be too short or image distortion may be especially strong here, but still...
A focal length reducer comes with a side effect: It shrinks the image circle by the same factor. While many lenses still produce an image much larger than the standard 35mm frame picture quality is much worse at the borders than in the center. And of course, any additional optical element will potentially degrade image quality.
Reduction optics has been used in some early DSLRs like the Nikon E2 (1995) to project the image of lenses intended for 35mm film onto a sensor that was much smaller eliminating the crop factor while preserving the depth of field characteristics of the 35mm format. The E2 only had a 2/3'' because full-frame or even APS sized sensors were prohibitively expensive 16 years ago.
This camera only had 1.3 megapixels, so degraded image quality because of the additional optics was not a concern.

you must be a newbie @ this....
apple is notorious for product part, device scandals, and insider feature/spec leaks prior to the product unveiling/WWDC 2-3 times a year..
apple is slowly building momentum and hype for the october product refreshes
That's a nice looking restaurant! Looks like the menu is inclined towards Japanese cuisine.
