No prank. Apple contacted the sites involved and asked them to take it down - and gave them free vouchers for the Apple Store.

Hundreds of people saw this on Apple's site, so either it's for real or Apple was hacked.

This is great news for Apple. The specs I've seen for the G5 are pretty impressive. If these chips can scale effectively, Apple should be competiting head to head with PCs for the forseeable future.

NO.

The stats were not posted anywhere on the web prior to the leak. No one knew what the configurations would be although most people knew the G5 would be introduced and it would use the PPC970 chip.

Just admit you were wrong.

First you say that the leaked G5 specs were fake, and then after Steve Jobs tells everyone publicly they were genuine, you still say they were fake.

Yes there is and the mistake was posted on Apple's own site.

Here is one of the places that reported it originally. I also saw people on forums who reported seeing it directly at the store.

Here's the link:

http://www.thinksecret.com/news/powermacg5.html

Here's a report of Apple's admission that it was their site and a mistake:

http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,59373,00.html

Note the text:

quote:
Details of the new machines already had been leaked on Apple's own website. Jobs made light of the snafu, calling it "premature specification.


And

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1134825,00.asp

quote:
Apple chief executive Steve Jobs confirmed what sharp-eyed Internet watchers noticed last week on Apple's Web site: the new G5 systems, based on a 64-bit processor from IBM. Within Apple, the marketing glitch now goes by a new term: "premature specification."



There you have it in plain English from reputable news organisations.


So we have

1. People who believe that Apple mistakenly posted the G5 specs on their own website = Agathon and everyone else who's been reading the news.

2. People who believe that the pictures are fake = Panag.

Give me a break. You were wrong on this one.

The problem is, it wasn't a hoax, it was a mistake. One of their employees mistakenly posted the stats for the new G5's. Apple have admitted this, why can't you?

Whether or not you or anyone else knew what the configurations were going to be before the leaked specs were posted is besides the point. The specs were leaked by being inadvertently posted on Apple's web site and Apple has admitted this. This was not the work of a hacker or photoshopper. If it were Apple wouldn't have said that it was their fault and it wouldn't have appeared on their own store page.

Anyone can read your posts and see for themselves that the facts contradict what you say.

And the facts are these:

1) The leaked G5 specs were accurate.

and

2) The accurate G5 specs were leaked on Apple's own web store site because of an internal "mistake' by an employee.

3) The pictures shown around the web are just captures of the Apple Store Page made by someone who visited it during the hour or so when the leaked specs were up.


Stop being pathetic.

No it was not. It was a capture of Apple's own web store site. At the time you could get various captures of it. I saw some of them, but Apple asked for them to be removed.

Here's eweek on the subject.

quote:
The Apple Store page was quickly pulled down, but not before screenshots and specifications were picked up by sites across the Mac Web, including MacMinute, MacCentral and MacRumors. The version of the specifications listed on MacRumors was "removed per the request of Apple" within a few hours of posting, and Apple Legal demanded MacMinute remove the image it posted.


That is what that picture is. There's no reason to think that it, or any of the others are fake. And every reason to think they are genuine given the press and Apple's response.

Now either you can't read or you are so hell bent on not admitting that you were wrong about such a trivial matter that you can't bring yourself to admit it. Please don't torment me or anyone else interested in the issue because of it.
