giga Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 You guys should check the thread at macrumors. A lot of pics showing its fake. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php...threadid=103880 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 did they flip it over in between taking the 4th and 5th shots? :huh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_01 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yeah the Centre thing is a bit weird, and I can't imagine they would using the same term as Microsoft (Windows XP Media Center Edition). And wasn't it supposed to look like a white Xserve? Something that looks weird too: The location of the Combo drive -> If you want it to sit up the Apple and iHome logo will be upside-down.

Mx Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 The only thing I always wonder about this fake screens is, why are they always in lifts or kinda halls/corridors? :s lol thats what always makes me think they are fake. Also, why don't they ever plug the unit in? :p Fake :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuarterSwede Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I am now convinced that it is fake. If you look carefully it is made out of cardboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makeshift Hammer Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 As much as i'd love to have a go at apple, i don't for a minute think they'd make something of such (obvious) low quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 The video even proves its fake. How could he easily move the thing with just one hand at the edge? Thats way too light to have a pc in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'd like to take a look at the video but I don't know how to open it. What kind of compression is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 You can open the video using VLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 (edited) I'd like to take a look at the video but I don't know how to open it. What kind of compression is that? 585251906[/snapback] media player classic played it fine. :)it does look awfully light now that i've watched the video. :laugh: edit: also, if you look closely. it looks like it's just papers taped onto a box or something. :huh: edit2: now that i look closely at the "ihome", it too looks like a cardboard box. :D Edited January 7, 2005 by kainashi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 I used VLC Media Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanks for the help. Yeah, after watching the video it looks even more fake. It's nice that the iHome reflects light just like glossy cardboard does. I bet that this was someones marketing or design project in school. A dormmate of mine did something similiar for his.

kawai Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 fake no way apple would paint that gay "iHome" ontop of that thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yup this is fake, the slot is multi coloured which could indicate cardboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 It looks too light. Look at the bit where he 'lets go' of the box. If that was an actual PC, it would fall as it looked like the majority of the unit was not balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted January 7, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2005 Have you picked up a PowerBook lately? 585252013[/snapback] My friend has a 12" Powerbook, and its fairly light, but not as light as the video is suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioboy Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 perhaps the best question is who would leave a) apples new super secret consumer device sitting out in a hallway/elevator like that, and b) who in gods name would leave all that mac stuff just sitting around, I count two imacs, two g5s, and what appears to be a scanner in addition to that fake iHome, that's almost $10,000 worth of hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
