This website is ripping apple's look and feel off.

Dont know whether or not anyone has picked this up or not yet, but the 15" (laptop) resolution is stated as 2048x1536, and the 17" as 1600x1200.

Hmmmmm. Doesnt quite add up really. Sound like a very badly done scam to me.
 
I've noticed that the Inquirer has an article on these guys. Still, some of the features they've listed are quite unrealistic (DDR-II compatible P4 motherboard? PuRAM? Cacheflow? SuperBios? Why I never knew such technologies existed! :rolleyes: ). It is very possible however, to sell similarly configured systems (3.8 GHz OC'ed P4, DDR-500, overclocked chipset, liquid cooling) assuming Intel allows it (which is doubtful).
 
That link is retarded. Everything he posts as "proof" that this is a scam is circumstantial. For example, the Grand Canyon display is a fake because it is "too exotic." Whatever, I have a triple headed 3x18" display at work that I have been using since last year. It is just four TFTs in a plastic enclosure...whoop.

"The 15" laptop is fake because I have never heard of an LCD with that resolution. Ehhh....and I called them and asked and they said that it might be made by Samsung."

Well it is made by Samsung...I've never heard of QXGA TFTs either but it is on Samsung's site (listed at 2,048 x 1,536 res).

Current speculation is that this is her in the picture. She's using Mac OS 9 apparently. I theorize she's an underemployed writer along with being a horse trainer.

Watch out Lisa, he's after ya! Well Mr. Journalist, I theorize that you are a complete loser.

Oh, and we have got satellite photos of LA. More proof! It's like a live webcam into their scheming business. I don't see any computers or Grand Canyon monitors in the parking lot. Must be a scam.

All in all, I can't believe that people are still talking about this. Are you fiending for a witchhunt? Do you pine to be a psuedo-vigilante for wealthy consumers? Go start a soup kitchen or something. Volunteer to build/donate/maintain computers for an under-funded public school. Play Russian Roulette with a semi-auto...

That's not proof. It is simply a sophmoric approach to logic that magnifies the authors stupidity. Whoever wrote that obviously has no concept of how businesses operate. Holy fences,...I could rip apart apple and the G5 the same way.

Well, I can sure say after reading it that whomever wrote it has come up with a hundred times more proof that they are a hoax than you have that they aren't one. What's up with your passionate defense of these clowns anyway? Real company or not, they're obviously shady even in the best light you can put them in. It's hardly a coincedence either that now Forbes and some other sites have since pulled their news articles relating to this "company"...
 
Apple Graphic Designer Hoax?

Folks:

If you dig into the site you'll eventually come across an extensive plug for a graphic designer named Rick Butler, who's heavily involved in OS X graphic design. His client list contains some very well known national companies. Funny ... no mention anywhere of Liebermann!

Visit the following link and decide for yourself if the Liebermann is a "real" company or not.

And, by the way, I would be willing to bet that Rick is a regular visitor to this thread and is laughing his butt off!

Cheers!

Cool but Fake

If you actually try to order something it just shows a blank page. Amazingly detailed though. Someone sure put alot of time into this page. Maybe the web designer uses this page to show off his talent to prospective customers.

All these technologies are real, and intel allows sale of overclocked processors. They even manufacture motherboards designed for overclocking, any of the PE series. This is a new thinng for them.

This whole thread is ridiculous.
 
No offense...

But I'm taking that article from Maccentral with a grain of salt...

I still don't believe they're real...

And I don't think this thread is ridiculous....it's kind of fun...

It will be interesting to see what happens.....

Show me where on Intel's that talks about Pentium 4 "Extreme Edition" and I'll start believing a little more...

I still think this company is a fake....
 
MacCentral lost their credibility on the issue...

...when they misspelled the website as "go-I.com" (Real website is "go-(lowercase L).com"

Can you provide some links to demonstrate that the technologies I've cited on my previous post (DDR-II P4 motherboard, PuRAM, Cacheflow, SuperBIOs) exist and are useable in a desktop configuration? I've done a decent amount of searching and the only references I've found for all but one of those technologies was from go-l itself.

Intel's own DDR-II compatible chipset (grantsdale ) is scheduled to be introduced 2Q 2004 and competitive chipset designs from dedicated motherboard makers (Via, SiS) likely won't be available until after Grantsdale's launch. Intel itself, is including DDR-I support for Grantsdale in case DDR-II is not ready to go yet. That a small non-dedicated company like go-l already has a DDR-II compatible P4 motherboard seems quite ludicrous to me.

The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition was announced by Intel's Vice President Louis Burns during his keynote at IDF.

The overclocked Pentium 4 is actually very viable, it's just that many of the other components seem fake.
 
Vote: Spoof or Real?

Let's take an informal poll, since the underlying question seems to be whether or not this company is legitimate.

A) The company is for real, and portends or can actually produce the technologies they represent.

B) The company is for real, but is a sham because they cannot possibly deliver the technologies they claim to deliver.

C) The company is not real, and somebody is just trying to see how many people they can dupe into visiting the site, continuing with thread discussions such as this one, and getting interviews from major media sources -- only to have them pulled down shortly after original publication.

D) I have no idea. Could be real, could be a clever hoax.

Most of what was said in here actually makes me feel ashamed to be a Mac user.

btw, Im a happy Mac and Wintel user. Makes no difference to me whatsover.
 
this is over clocked, because the multiplier of the P4 @3.2GHz is 16... and 16 x 200MHz (the front side bus) gives you 3.8GHz. Then 16 x 237.5 gives you 3.8GHZ. So it really is over clocked... if it were an actual P4, non-overclocked... it would be a 3.8GHz with a FSB of 800MHz.
