A screenshot of the Apple store by Macrumors.
It is now official: The G5 is coming!

I don't believe it. That image could easily have been forged then put at a low quality jpg setting to make it look authentic.
-
I agree, Macman! That makes it two to one!
-
It has been removed. What do you think happened? :D

Although I agree it could have still been faked, and don't personally want to get my hopes up until Monday (http://smile.gif)

Take a gander:

The image was up for 25 minutes, then the store was taken down for another 20. I'm starting to wonder if Apple will ask for something done to this page, since they're trying to stop it from spreading.

apple was down for some time yesterday. possibly hacked? planting seeds of deceit? we will see on monday :(
-
Some people (ie Slashdot) think that Apple may actually have leaked that info on purpose to build hype for the event. Wouldn't surprise me; rumour sites are a good source of publicity. In that case, they may have an even bigger surprise for the conference.
Can't wait... this might be my cue to switch. I am planning to buy a laptop for Uni next summer, maybe I might even buy a desktop before that, if I can afford it.

My brother was about to order an iBook for school, good thing he decided to wait until the end of summer. It might be bad to get a new computer, and miss Apple re-revolutionize the Macintosh.

i have read that as well. seems like its working since every news site is reporting the "slip" and hyping the new hardware.
i am just trying to imagine a dual 2ghz ppc970 with like 2 gigs of ram running panther.......[/drool]

That's gotta be a first. I heard the Apple site has never been down because its hosted on an OS X server. Something else must have gone wrong.

8 gigs turns my head stupid.....

That's nothing. I expect Intel to hurry up and astonish us with 32 gigs max of RAM, to prepare us for the minimal requirements of the bloated, slow, clunky Windows Longhorn POS. The high performance, not to mention the astronomical amounts of heat and energy consumed by the efficiently designed Pentium IV processor, is crucial to provide us with essential and innovative features such as spinning web browsers and flapping file managers.

Hmm, 16 Symetric SPARC chips, ooh, 40 gig of swap in a RAID array, ooh. Just making sure you Mac users arent all alone here. ;)
-
I bet it's only a few thousand dollars more per processor.
-
i'll believe it when i see it. right now i'm at 50/50. apple making all of these changes at once? it just seems odd, imo.

8 gigs of ram....
how could you possibly use that much?

640k of RAM should be enough for everybody.

You have a very interesting point there. What if the computers became so hungry for power that the fuses at home couldn
