Further Confirmations, and Safari 85?

Appleinsider.com posts some NewsBytes which indicate that Safari 1.0 Beta 85 had been briefly sighted, as well as further confirmation that the PowerMac Photo posted on Tuesday is indeed fake. MacRumors had also received multiple reports that this image was not real.



A somewhat more revealing description is offered by Appleinsider regarding case design -- describing the unit with a "aluminum mesh/honeycomb/cheesegrater panel" on the front of the machine instead of the vertical grate depicted in the photo.



Meanwhile, MacRumors can offer some confirmation that Apple will utilize the 'G5' name, as first reported by AppleInsider.

A new Safari beta? I thought it was final? Or are there still bugs?

Interesting.... well I'm not sure how good a "cheese grater" panel would look, but I'll take anything we can get at this point. I wonder if we can get v85 on the net yet?

Good good good. safari's developers are ramping up because of IE... But I think most of us knew that the pic was fake (after lengthy discussion)

ahh, G5. I can see the advertising now... a new G5 tower sitting on the runway in front of Steve's G5 (Gulftream 5 jet he got as a bonus recently, nicest private jet ever). SLogan should be something like: "Fast, Luxurious, Exclusive... and it even comes with a mouse."

I still don't believe it will be called the G5, perhaps just because I like 970 better.

All this pre-WWDC stuff makes me feel like I'm watching breaking news on CNN or something ... Every few minutes I do a quick circuit of the sites that might have something to say ... When something new pops up (especially on MR! :) ), I get all excited and anxious.

My god, what have I become?

The honeycomb will come pre-loaded with pupa-stage iPods, which will take about two weeks to hatch. Also, it's not a cheesegrater,it's a coffee grinder.

Heh, yeah its been a pretty fun week for rumors. This site has been great, perhaps I should go click some banners. What I'm wondering now is... when was the last time Arn slept? ;)

Thank God that pic was not the new G5, cause that was the ugliest thing I have seen in a really long time. I switched this past Dec. and am excited about the new chips, but Im just waiting till the PB get the G5 so I can sell of my iBook.
