Wait til you see.... Feb 28th

Then why post at all?

Why post at 2am?

Why was a staff member allowed access at 2am anyway? Let alone a outsider?

How come Apple let him in to look at new products, Apple staff have to sign non-discloser forms. They are not allowed to show outside people products?

Apple Staff looked on in amusment?

How did he connect anyway if Rumors forums are banned?

A post, somehow getting around the firewalls, posted from a secret product, would have been recorded by apple. The staff member would have HAD to have him signed in. He would already lose his job.

"We will see in two days"??? OF COURSE WILL WE. Look at the post, that could almost apply to anything. He is certain to be proved right, all he is saying is apple are releasing something tuesday, thats his 'proof', when it comes around and something is released he could say. 'told you so'. COME ON!! We already know somethings coming.

He wouldnt keep posting in hhere if he didnt care. In fact he wouldnt riisk his 'friends' job if he didnt care.

I think it's feasible.

His friend might be high up in Apple.

They could have been there at 2am because they're about to launch several new "fun" products next week.

He said he signed a NDA, and has several times before. There's no reason to believe him, but I do.

I believe him more than you. Just because you like Apple does not mean you know everything about Apple. Why was a employee allowed access at 2am? If they're working late, why not?

I'm not sure if it applies to apple but I work in a research lab and as an employee I'm allowed 24/7 access to the place. Frequently people will be doing stuff late into the night, especially if a deadline needs to be met.

if someone really really cares if hes telling the truth or not, why dont you just check the ip he made the post from. you can get the exact location he made the post from that. does this forum have ip logging? does anybody really care?

i dont and neither should you. its only a computer.....maybe

The thing I don't understand is who cares if he is telling the truth or not? Unless there is some indication of what is to come (heck even if a portable will be released) it doesn't affect us because it isn't telling us something we don't already know. This guy could be Steve Jobs himself, or a 14 year old wanting to screw around with men in their 20s. Heck, at least the guy who was bragging about knowing about the latest ibook a few weeks ago gave some specs to drool over. This guy is just looking for attention. Give us something to go off of to help validate the future truthfulness of your claims.

Everyone has seen the Apple Insider report, right?


Chasingapple, what do you have to say about this?

That seems to be a very realistic list of things to be released on tuesday. It seems too good to be true to expect an intel ibook or tablet this soon.

 

[FireArse]

I don't believe him

I'm sat here waiting for my coursework to print. Read this and laughed. If you're a mac fan - how do you expect us to take you seriously?!

'Get excited'?

I will having placed my order for something I wanted, else - its just another fake. Whats the point?!

Chasingapple, what do you have to say about this?

"You guys make me laugh. Good on you, mates! Ha ha! I saw that report... very interesting! I guess we'll see on Tuesday, right? Believe me, when you see what's coming out, you'll all be very happy! Oh well, I need to get going, or else I'd offer some teeny tiny shred of suggestion as to what might be coming...."

Hahaha yeah exactly! People wouldn't be interested in this unless they thought that they would be able to extract some bit of information out of the bragger.

How are the chairs there?


sure theres probably a lot of cool stuff but the chairs. What color are they? Are they comfortable? Does SJ have a different one?

also do they have a starbucks?

starbucks?! they're so microsoft. if anything, they would have a peet's there.

 

[kugino]

for the least "proof" of any rumour so far (no pictures, etc.), for some reason i believe him...maybe it's because there is no "proof"...my wallet is ready!

 

[wpwj40e]

I ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE...he is telling the truth.

There will be exciting stuff announced...and people will spend $$$$ on it.

Now whether thats you or me - who knows....Buy for pete's sake - all he claimed was that some exciting stuff was coming...in his opinion. Maybe he wants a boom box and is thrilled at an "IM7" with an Apple logo on it.

Who knows...But I was not NOT let in at 2am(or any time) and I have NOT seen anything and I can tell you - WOW.... Tuesday's announcements are really cool. Some of you will absolutley love IT....

 

[applekid]

Pat, since you did work for Westwood Studios, can you explain to me why we never saw all the C&C between the original and Generals?

 

[jhero]

Believe in the prophecy....

 

[excalibur313]

Believe in the prophecy....

What prophecy? This would be the equivalent of an angel coming down to Mary and saying "I know something super sweet is going to happen to you but I'm not going to tell what you will just have to wait nine months....oops I said too much."

Forget chasingapple, this is the real deal:

A friend who works at apple emailed this picture to me with this to say: "This is the prototype for the new video iPod which will be announced tuesday. I'm not sure if this is the final model, but IT IS REAL! From what I hear, apple is moving away from sleek and stylish to rugged, and boarderline crazy. P.S. I took this with my camerphone because it hadn't occured to me to use my olympus."

Folks, I don't know about you but I'm almost kinda excited.

do you want to not waste our time? that wasnt funny. at all. kthx.

 

[Deepdale]

From what I hear, apple is moving away from sleek and stylish to rugged, and boarderline crazy.

Bad news: It is larger than a toaster.

Good news: It is smaller than a refrigerator.

 

[Pine-Tree]

Your the one wasting your time believing some guy who just comes out and says basically nothing about future products.

p.s. - at least I provided a photo, and it was MUCH funnier. peace.

 

[dodoei]

I think chasingapple should be able to post specs on those exciting products a few minutes before Tue's show without any trouble, right? If so, please do it so we can trust you and all get really excited with you before every future event in the coming years!

 

[chasingapple]

Still no email from him...

Just got home and Im reading the thread, give me a sec I have to scan it

 

[chasingapple]

I left Westwood Studios right after Blade Runner was released. The last C&C I was on was Sole Survivor (a spinoff of C&C). EA bought out WW and now the building belongs to a travel agency I believe

Here ya go

As promised. Man I looked like a roughneck back then, need a new License now that I look at it, lol. Of course the renewal is on the back. But at least people wont think I'm some 10 year old seeking attention. But seriously, all I wanted to tell people was to get excited, lol. This is as far as I'm going to prove anything to the forums, take what I say any way you would like, you guys are wearing me out!

Not that I'm trying to doubt you or anything. Just in case you had not noticed - it appears your license might be expired. Unless the laws in Nevada are different...

 

[chasingapple]

The renewal is on the back I said. They give you a sticker here that goes over the back with updated expirations and such. I really need to just get a new one, that is the old style license!
