Can someone, please, explain to me the whole "elevator" thing? I have only really been into the whole "
Scene" for just under a year, I don't exactly understand the inside joke with the elevators....

Look at the iHome and G5
iMac Fake! iPod...I don't know
If look at the iMac and then look at the Apple Cinema Screens that are out at the moment, wow! It's like they look exactly the same!
The iPod on the other hand, I wish it was real. The only thing that is pointing toward a fake is there is no "Home" Button like on the iPhone. The UI looks exactly the same as the iPhone, and on the top of the iPod Screen, it looks like that was also taken from some other part of the iPhone. Iw ish this was the new iPod, we'll just have to wait untill Tuesday.
I know, I know, it's strictly Mac-Related! But as Steve always say,
"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Right, it's not all fake or real. There's a shade of gray. Sometimes there are images that are faked, but appear (in retrospect) to have been produced by someone with knowledge of what was coming. So, you have three categories of pre-release images.
1. Genuine leaked images. Typically this doesn't come from unnamed sources, but from media outlets jumping the gun. Time Magazine's night-before unveiling of the iMac G4 was a good, unfortunate example.
2. Complete fakes. Just someone trying their best to create a frenzy of posts and arguing about things. The iWalk was a complete and utter fake.
3. Fakes that are trying to tell us something. Everyone uses the old iHome box in the elevator as the primary example of a total fake, but I often wonder how much the person who faked that knew about the
TV. It's strikingly similar.You can see the iWalk and iHome here.

Check out the PowerMac G5 there. Another apparent fake that bore a lot of surprising similarities to the product that was released shortly afterward.
Why are so many people convinced that the new iMac is just going to look like the cinema display? That design is many years old at this point. I'm inclined to think that Apple will unveil a whole new aesthetic with the iMac that will work its way over to the displays. Both are in need of updating.
No, the PowerMac G5 image there was based on well known rumors that it would be metal/mesh sort of front. It was not based on any information that wasn't publicly available at the time.

A PowerBook G5 is not so unlikely. I checked the shipment times for all Mac Products in the german Apple-Store and only the Powerbook has a delivery time of 7-11 work days. iMac will ship within 24 hours.
On the other hand Apple has had problems with 15" Powerbooks for some time most likely because of the LED screens so you never know.

oh come on the image on the screen still has the white border around it from an imac or similar
I like the 6g ipod, looks quite cool.
The imacs a bit shoddy though, if they wanted to make it look realistic, don't use an old port configuration (vertical) from the imac G5's, come on now use your head
It's nice to see the fake images once and a while, guess its a good chance for photo shop nerds to show off their skills, probably find all the creators of these images are users on this forum or TS, AI etc

lmao, that is one of the worst fake images. The top bar looks so bad, that is Myriad (Pro). Apple doesn't use Myriad Pro ANYWHERE on the iPhone interface. Look, that font doesn't even match the font on the CoverFlow.
Why is there a full screen button on there? How much more fake-ness can you get? Maybe that takes out the white border (very funny).

there have been a few fake pictures over the years taken in elevators. people claimed they were moving a box (or boxes) for Apple or something, and took a quick picture.
