Return Of The Cube? (FAKE)

As many have noted, this is a blurry photo of an Apple Design Award - I've updated the Page 2 story with a (FAKE) notation.

sorry about the confusion, but I doubted it was a real anything anyway.

A lot of people think it's an ADA, but the logo is bigger on an ADA. I'm not saying it's real, just not an ADA.
 
It's has to be an 'Apple Design Award'.

No need to apologize. These page 2 items are always good for a laugh. As others have mentioned, it looks like it could be a box for a new product. That, apparently, is not the case.

I remember a few years ago when everyone was complaining about things being placed on page 2, Arn decided to post a note on every page 2 item stating: Note: This is a Page 2 News Item. People are still complaining. Shouldn't those people just ignore this part of the site altogether? I mean, people who hate discussing politics don't post in the political forum, do they?

Okay. Sorry about the rant.

Looks like a 3D render probably using Mental Ray or Renderman, looks like someone had some fun with the gobal illumination features and soft shadows as well. 😉

The box looks too CG Box to be a "Apple Design Award" plus it looks like it's using the standard 3D Studio MAX or Maya Brushed Aluminium Map (with the relfect maps turned right down), the standard wood and matte maps also look like they have been used for the floor and walls. The reflections from the Apple box itself looks too inconsist to be an "Apple Design Award" but would be more consistant with a CG model.

Looks as though it was rendered in full focus and digitally enhanced in photoshop (guassian blur and therefore very skewed depth of field), that's why the perpective/size seems to be way off.

The light sources and shadows are also way off for how big the item is supposed to be, the shadows are too hard for it to be an 8"x8"box giving it the standard 3 point lighting shadows amature 3D feel (ala light and shadows tutoral for 3D Studio MAX).

It's not an "Apple Design Award" but a very poorly produced bit of CG.
 
M--

Bulls are hot on trail so have to make this quick. Inside man managed to smuggle out this shot from Grapefruit. Don't know what it means yet but boys in the lab can figure this out. Know it's a bit blurry but lost contact and fear worst. Need to go silent now.

Maybe, just maybe...

Maybe Apple took the design for their award and it's the new power adapter for the new Powerbook G5 so many have been waiting for... 😉
 
If...

Would you buy a box like that with a Dual Core G5 at 2.0GHz and a NVidia 7800 and use it as your media centre? I know I would. Apple, I have money waiting on a nice Media Mac to hook up to a HD screen or Projector.....howabout you make one of these and take my money already?!

The picture's definately fake though.
