So, will the iMac G5 get completely leaked before its introduction, whenever that may be? I'm talking more than supposed leaked specs, like from ThinkSecret, but things such as a Time magazine story or an ad spread...heck, even a TV commercial.

"We are reviewing some 9,000 recent UNHCR referrals from Syria. We are receiving roughly a thousand new ones each month, and we expect admissions from Syria to surge in 2015 and beyond." - Anne C. Richard, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration

Strange...

This is an awful lot of questions... In the future you should create a WHOLE NEW TOPIC for each and every question you might have about the new iMac.

For example:

New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked before its introduction?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Time magazine?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by ad spread?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by TV commercial?

But you forgot a WHOLE lot more:

New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by MacWorld Magazine?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Apple Store Website?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Apple (not store) Website?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Steve Jobs while on a bender?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Phil Schiller while at a snackbar?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 get completely leaked by Bill Gates?

Oh and how about a few MORE new topics on the G5 iMac:

New Topic: Will the iMac G5 have 256MB of default RAM?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 have 512MB of default RAM?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 have a non-upgradable video systems?
New Topic: Will the iMac G5 have a upgradable video systems?

I could go on but I'm getting bored... And besides, by now I hope you get the point I was REALLY trying to make. (in a pretty smart-ass way - sorry but it was a pretty crappy day and I had to vent somehow)

There are not all the many topics on what could be the future of Apple Computer, and the thing is going to probably be introduced in about a week, I do not think it is inappropriate to ask these questions. Good day to you.

Sorry but I had this place turning into some OTHER (unmentionable) forum that ... well ... lets just say one that lost most of its competent mods.

I'd just hate to turn around one day and find:

TS reports on new imac specs
Will AppleInsider ever show the "iMac sketches?"
Post All your iMac 3 Mockups here
Will the iPod be tied in with the new iMac...?
When was the iMac ment to be announced
Would you buy an iMac with the specs published by TS?
"PowerScreens" leading to "iMonitors" & Headless iMac?
Doom3 to run on new iMac?
G5 PowerMacs, PowerBooks AND iMacs?
iMac G5 mockup pics.
The Apple Future iMac Fan Concept vs The Alleged ThinkSecret iMac
The Sony Vaio W an the Imac
The iBook/iMac connection
REALISTIC suggestions for new iMac 2004
G5 iMac Video Card
Will the Power Mac line be revised concurrently with the new iMac?
Apple recognizes iMac requirements?
Apple's missing 17" LCD and the future iMac

(not made up - simply taken from another forum)

Or maybe not.

That would be a real shame. I hope it never comes to that.

Actually, everyone including the admin(s) seem to be having a heck of a time bashing you.


But if you insist:

No, they won't leak anything, they won't publicize anything, they probably won't even advertise anything. This is Apple we're talking about here, not some well run business with goals of a profit and increased marketshare.

It'd be cool if it were on the cover of Time, again. Like, maybe this next weekend - then they'd talk about it all at AppleExpo (they never said it'd for sure be announced at AE...in fact, they said it'd be announced in September). Keep sorta a tradition going...ok, so I just want them to put it on the cover of Time so that it'd be leaked again.

since the republican convention is coming up, there is no way in hell they are going to get a cover of a news magazine for the next two weeks.

Sorry if I am repeating someone elses post... I did have a quick look for it on the forums and didn't see it... But perhaps I missed it.

Cheers,

Yes, these "J-Lo" iMacs were mentioned in another thread here about a week ago.
