Unless Apple itself is behind the scam, rooting out spies.

No, trust me, it's the real deal - I saw this earlier today, you know.

It is astounding the way Apple can do this to the media and consumers by dropping mere hints at a product that doesn't necessarily exist. Others pay fortunes for PR campaigns and bite and claw for every scrap of attention, while all Apple has to do is just drop the word "slate" somewhere on some patent application and the industry goes absolutely nuts.
Genius.
Genius.
is this about my post? haha if it is then i dont think it can be both, since he said it was from the web page PSD, so its either real or a hoax. i dont think its supposed to be a mockup.
whoa! good call. you mean the clock right? i also noticed that the apps in front arent open in the dock.
It was to your post. I realized it was a mock-up, but it was just about the discussion in general. Great job though.
no dude cant take credit, not mine. it is pretty good if its fake, i mean it had me about 70% fooled for a while there.
Obvious plan of action: Apple produces a photo of Steve Jobs holding the Apple tablet with stretched out arms, with Phil Schiller standing in front of the tablet so that you can't actually see it. Accompanied by an affidavit by Schiller that Jobs _is_ indeed holding the tablet, or better yet, another photographer taking the same picture from the other side so that Apple can prove beyond any doubt that the picture shows Jobs holding a tablet. Then ask Valleywag for $50,000 and sue them if they don't pay up.
(I think their offer would be legally binding to them, and they asked for "a photo of Steve Jobs holding a tablet", no mention that the tablet must be visible in the photo).

Keep this one going guys. The elevator bit was a peach. You know, I fell for that one the first time.
Great, but don't think they would put Macbook and slate on the same product. That name seems confusing as a slate is not a book.
I think a video of Jobs playing with it should be worth more than actually getting one of them!!!
Although I'd rather have one myself to try out, the value of casual photos of Jobs "working".....who knows!

I now pronounce the elevator Photoshop mockup contest... open.
It's the best fake I ever saw that had a typo in the product's name.
And it's running full OS X. Nay-nay . . .
I'll assume opening the pic in photoshop was done deliberately for comic effect. I hope.
For one, Apple wouldn't spell MacBook with a lowercase letter 'b'.
Also, its in Photoshop, and I can see the text layers.

You won. Hands down. If you could, I'd like $500 out of the $100,000.
