New iMac with TOUCHSCREEN? (Adsense says so)

[Peel]

Total BS

Though I would completely drool over something like a 28" screen

 

[nagromme]

Jeez, try a little harder with the fakes!

Touchscreen iMac? Talk about muscle strain!

"I'm a Mac. And I have forearms like Popeye."

 

[larriveejp]

Wouldn't Apple call it the iMac with Multi-touch anyway?

Even if they did use "touchscreen" they would use it consistently, never allowing "touchscreen" and "touch screen" to coexist in an ad.

Ultimate fakery. The font and language doesn't match up with the rest, and if they were advertising an iMac, wouldn't the url be apple.com/imac?

 

[lu0s3r322]

even though i doubt it'll happen...

that would be soooo sick

 

[brendanryder]

it deffinatly BS

why you ask:

why whold apple advertise on an italian website in english?

 

[Wayfarer]

Wow, this thread made page 2. The rumor mill has been quite busy these last 24 hours...

 

[darksplat]

I have the link

Guys this is the Link

 

[Flowbee]

This is actually what I do for a living, so I can for once give some insight in to this.

The ad will be real...

So in your experience as an advertising professional, you often see Google Adesnse ads with different fonts and colors in the same ad block? How exactly does the affiliate advertiser achieve this?

A multitouch computer requires a multitouch OS. Considering that would probably mean Leopard (at the least) and Leopard doesnt come out till the fall, I think its safe to say the new imac wont be multitouch.

 

[rikers_mailbox]

Fake.

The ad uses both 'touchscreen' (one word) and 'touch screen' (two words).

Consistency in marketing is very important.

edit: larriveejp beat me to it.

Any rumor to keep us faithful MacRumors member's here debating.

I love it all. Dissecting the little details. Such fun we have....

 

[brendanryder]

[Lesser Evets]

[phungy]

Want to pass one over to me?

 

[Lesser Evets]

One imaginary super computer coming your way.

 

[phatspider]

Look what I've just found... (may be fake of course)

Disclaimer: I just found the picture on an italian website - Can't tell if it's the real thing

Thats so fake - and not even well done - look how the white box around the fake ad overlaps the left of the white google section!

haha

 

[c-Row]

good god. I can smell the BS through my screen

New iMac with SmellScreen next Tuesday?

Note to faker: Next time, get the source code to the page, and edit it with your fake text. Then load the revised html into your browser, and take a screenshot of that. Nobody will believe it, but at least it won't look so horribly lame.

 

[mozmac]

That is the fakest thing I've ever seen! The background behind the "text ad" is spilling over into the gray. Here's a tip, if you're going to make a fake rumor, use something better than MS Paint.

 

[brendanryder]

if you have a mb or mbp tilt ur screen while lloking at the ad
you can see how horribly fake it is

 

[blindzero]

I think you can pretty much fake an adsense ad anyways, if you want to pay money for clicks to Apple you can make up your own ad. So this faker was just plain lazy.

[A Pittarelli]

i still doubt that we'll get a touchscreen

 

[mozmac]

Can you imagine using a touch screen on a desktop computer? Your arms would get tired after just a little use. It'd be great for occasional use, but couldn't be your main input. Now, a gestures input device on the desk would be a completely different story. That would be really cool.
