New iMac Unveiled

from the does-this-mean-i-have-to-get-a-new-toaster dept

The January 14th issue of Time will feature the new iMac.. Lucky for us, the online version is already out and we can see the new iMac. We'll see if this new iMac will turn Apple's market share around. It's pretty, but will it sell? News.com thinks it looks like a desk lamp. I like desk lamps. Update: It looks like the timecanada links are no longer working, but news.com has pictures available now.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Uh-oh!

    Steve's going to be pissed! This is not a man you want to tick off, I bet he flies up to Canada in his private Jet and personally kicks the ass of someone at Time Canada!!!

    I'm sort of dissappointed that the keynote is ruined for me tomorrow as well, I wonder what kind of a mood he'll be in.

    Not to mention that there could still be something else up his sleeve...

      I hate CNET!

      Okay, you should probably never reply to your own post... but man does cnet suck. . They compare the high end iMac, with DVD-R drive, to an IBM with a CD-ROM??? Ummm, why not compare the iMac that costs 500$ less?

      Here's a great quote from the article:
      "Apple's computer resembles IBM's NetVista X series the most out of existing competitors. This also would not be the first time Apple followed an IBM design innovation. "

      Ha! Apple follows IBM?!? Man, whoever wrote that article has been hanging around with Michael Dell too much!

      Okay, I'm shutting up. Sure I'm a Mac fan, and I'm biased, but all I really ask for is some reasonably balanced coverage, not cnet's anti-apple bullshit.

      PS: Can you say "bullshit" on Techdirt?:-)

    The original leak from Time Canada seems to point to Time.com now...
