Spy Shot: WWDC Presentation Slide?

[Yvan256]

New Keynote slide releaved!

I just found this!

 

[Darkroom]

I hope this one is true, but my gut says its fake. Apple cant spend the entire WWDC talking about Leopard, can they?

steve could easily go over 2 hours talking about apple sales, preview of OS 10.5 with "surprise features", and the iPhone... easy... however, i am curious what the "one more thing..." would be... but if anything i'm guessing it's the new iMac (which i still bet will be rebranded to simply "Mac")

Wheres the elevator?

 

[SawTheLight]

I just found this!

LOL.

Your image is already more convincing...despite the still incorrect font. I would love to see something like this though.

I knew I forgot something.

Well, that's what Keynote gave me, so I used it. And yes I'd also like to see something like that. Not all-in-one, not a portable, not a Mac Pro, and good enough to run Starcraft 2 at decent framerates. ;-)

Where to begin?

1) Font is wrong. As we all know, it should be Apple Myriad. I believe this is Gill Sans, the default font when you create a new slide in keynote using the gradient theme.

2) Look at the height of the bottom cell in the chart. It is not consistent with the top 3 cells.

3) Apple would never make a chart where the text is that crowded and close to the edges. "Drive" is almost touching the edge. Inset margin anyone?

4) Why is "Flash" capitalized, but not "based drive." Speaking of punctuation, there would most likely be a hyphen between "flash" and "based."

5) It is not an LED screen. It is an LCD screen, backlit with LEDs.

6) The Optimus keyboard is just now seeing the light of day (sort of). If that's the type of thing that the "programmable LCD keyboard" is referring to: a) Optimus uses OLED...I think because LCDs cannot be miniaturized to that scale, b) it is mad expensive.

7) Speaking of cost - the cost of this device would probably rival the TAM (Twentieth Anniversary Mac). Suddenly, you have an ultra-portable that is many times more expensive than a decked-out Macbook Pro.

8) This may be just the camera angle, or my perception, but that projection screen looks to be a standard aspect ratio. Aren't Apple keynotes generally widescreen these days?

OK...that's enough. Fake!

You hit it right on the nose. This is absolutely a fake, but it certainly succeeded in producing some interesting discussion!

And that's what the last few days leading up to a keynote are all about. ;-)

Macbook Mini !!!

This is the new Apple ultraportable, the Macbook Mini (or Nano). It is a 10" LCD LED screen, flash based HD, with a touch-keyboard instead of a normal button keyboard that can be programmed, something like the new Palm's Foleo. A mini Macbook Ultraportable with no buttons, just screen and a multitouch surface as a keyboard/trackpad/alternate input method !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Excuse me, I was just dreaming... What did I say?

 

[freakyTaj]

even though i think its a fake I'd be thrilled to see an apple tablet device.
an lcd keyboard only can mean a tablet so here's to hoping its real

 

[p0intblank]

That slide design is horrible, therefore I call... fake!

 

[inkswamp]

I think it's a fake too but a clever one.

It makes me wonder however. Haven't there been some fakes that turned out to be very close to reality afterward, as if the person doing the fake was creating it based on something they knew and was just distributing a fake so they weren't technically breaking any NDAs? Wasn't a fake mock-up of the G5 tower put out prior to its release that turned out to be pretty darn close to the real thing?

It's easy to pick apart a fake when you see it (god knows some of you here have elevatored it to an art form ) but when I see these kinds of things, it does make me wonder if there isn't some kind of underlying message in it.

Even that dreaded cardboard iHome fake shot in the elevator turned out to be pretty close to what the AppleTV ended up being. It's sort of curious.

The only reason I am totally skeptical about this is the 120 gig flash based hard drive, right now that is simply too expensive.

although, if I am not mistaken didnt Apple buy 400,000,000 1 gig flash chips or something like that, if you divide that by 120 that comes to about 3,000,000 which would be enough to cover a computer model line up.

If Apple released a 10 inch multi touch MBP with a 120 gig flash based hardrive, I would probably have a heart attack, that would be hands down the coolest piece of electronics ever...chances of it happening are about 1 in 400,000,000...

 

[Emrtr4]

Also, I would like to say that I think we will all be suprised with something at this event, with all the Iphone hype no one has any idea what the hell is going to happen (and I bet apple planned it that way).

I wouldnt be suprised if we see
Apple tv HD material
Designed Imacs
Macpro Updates (blu-ray or new displays, or both)
Ultra portable
Or a new apple device that is amazingly cool looking, smaller than the Nano, can instantly kill every member of Al-Quieda, evaporate the members of the Sudanese government while giving prime rib to people in Darfur, and projecting it all live on the worlds smallest 4K 100,000:1 contrast ratio projector!!!

 

[Jahadeem]

It's the new Apple iPlant, it's a Music Player that you have surgically implated so you don't need earphones

 

[bdkennedy1]

There's no reason for Apple to display a top-secret slide to see if everything is working. A 120gb flash hard drive and LED keyboard would make this thing stupid expensive.

 

[Polardude]

Maybe this time Apple will release something completely off the radar...

(Apple) Plant - a commitment to a greener world.

It's a device that will mesh network other (Apple) Plants to produce a top-notch network all over the world to be controlled only by Apple. This network will provide an alternative to AT&T and other broadband networks (for iPhones and future products) and completes the package in terms offering the user the infamous mac experience: the hw, sw, and the internet itself. Not only that, it will act as an .Mac-like NAS. To earn its green badge, (Apple) Plant will generate enough energy to power your household on its own and returns the unused energy back to the grid.

Where does this energy come from? Of course! Steve Job's Universal RDF.

To give the product an Apple touch, it will act essentially as a plant - recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen while taking form of young apple tree in a size of a bonsai.

(Forgive me if there's a series of grammatical errors... just writing off the top of my head.)

 

[mustgroove]

I just found this!

Other than the font or photoshop artifacts, the other dead giveaway that this is a fake is that modern videocards are all billed as using GDDR for their RAM... the current one being GDDR3 and with GDDR4 slated to replace it...



/edit also nVidia is incorrectly capitalised to NVidia...

 

[SiriusExcelsior]

Now imagine if Steve decided to slip this 'fake' slide into the keynote somewhere, just to spite us all...

That would be interesting..

Actually.. what if this -wasn't- an Apple keynote.. maybe its from.. Dell? HP? Intel? Maybe its not a fake after all.. it's just in the wrong forum

EDIT: Can someone update me on this 'elevator' joke? I'm not too sure I get it.. (was it from the iHome thing?)

 

[Doga]

It's real! It's REAL! Here's a pre-production prototype!

 

[JD92]

Even if it is a fake, the guy still payed attention to detail, you can just see the white/black gradient on the slide

 

[Lesser Evets]

I love the logic behind it : why would someone want a slide done in the graphics of a Mac II+ hanging behind them with the specs of the computer? Then, why would they display this awful slide before the conference?

Ludicrous.

But, that Mac Mini Pro - THAT"S the real deal.

 

[HasanDaddy]

I vote REAL becaussssse.......

1. it says "1 20 gig HD" not 120 gig HD

2. it says "Programmable LCD Keyboard" ----- now only Apple would do that ---- I don't see a trickster thinking of throwing in a detail like that

So I'm voting real.... we'll wait and see though?

 

[alexprice]

Is that Steve? If so that would make that screen look bigger than we thought?

 

[Lesser Evets]

Is that Steve? If so that would make that screen look bigger than we thought?

That's Steve facing into the room with a chub. Behind him is Al Gore in a tutu ready to amuse the audience with a crowd warming slide show about death and doom unless we vote for him.

PS - that is the new MAC OS GUI behind them on a giant sized multi-touch monitor.... one problem - you can;t touch about 95% of it because it is so large.

 

[GroundLoop]

The only reason I am totally skeptical about this is the 120 gig flash based hard drive, right now that is simply too expensive.

Not that I think that this is real at all.....

but a "flash based hard drive" could simply mean a hybrid hard drive such as:

with that said.....this is a compleete fabrication
